State Park - San Luis
Back to Main
Area Map |
In the shadow of the Great Sand Dunes National Monument,
sits peaceful San Luis State Park and Wildlife Area. Nestled among
low sand dunes in this unique desert are wildlife-laden wetlands
and approximately nine miles of easy, level hiking and biking trails.
Waterfowl, shorebirds, songbirds and raptors fill the sky over this
outstanding watchable wildlife area most of the year. In addition,
big game such as deer and elk can be seen roaming the surrounding
ranchland. Bison are found at the nearby Rocky Mountain Bison Ranch.
San Luis State Park features a modern campground with showers and
electricity, fishing, windsurfing, boating, water skiing, picnicking
and photographic opportunities. The park is located just 15 minutes
west of the Great Sand Dunes on the Los Caminos Antiquos Scenic
and Historic Byway.
