 Colorado
Parks and Recreation
 .
With some of the most beautiful mountains in the world, opportunites
for outdoor adventure in Colorado abound. The state's natural beauty
is becoming better protected with over 40 State Parks, 6 Federal Parks,
a myriad of Federal Wilderness areas, a host Bureau of Land Management
land, and 13 National Forests and Grasslands. The total acreage of
these sites is almost a third of the state, the government owns roughly
45% of the state's land. In Colorado the Forest Service, Bureau of
Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Service, and the National Park
Service managed 23,455,115 acres in 1994. Since then there have been
two new Wilderness Acts that have increased that number.
These sites are open to the public, but have rules a regulations governing
each. For instance you are allowed to camp only in designated spots
for campgrounds in Rocky Mountain National Park.
Several of the large lakes and reservoirs also fall into the boundaries
of these sites.
