More information on North Slope Recreation Area

If time is thin, yet you still want to experience Colorado's famed outdoors, this recreation area allows you to escape the city without having to drive two hours into the mountains. The area is bloated with 2,267 pristine acres that are complemented by the stunning backdrop of Pikes Peak. Three large lakes serve as scenic arenas for matching wits with trout. Boats are allowed, but gas engines are prohibited. Over eight miles of mountain biking trails vein the area, and plenty of picnic spots abound.
