Sand Creek Park

The owners in Sand Creek refer to the area as "The last best place on the Front Range." The area is home to recreational owners of 35+ acre tracts, creating a low density environment, friendly to both wildlife and people. Favorite owner pastimes are hiking, sightseeing, exploring, trail riding, fishing, and hunting on adjoining public lands. Many thousands of acres of Roosevelt National Forest, Colorado State Lands and Bureau of Land Management holdings provide a park-like atmosphere for owners and their guests. 8 miles of private stream and numerous beaver ponds are available for the family fisher persons!

Located in the southernmost portion of the Wyoming Basin, where it enters Northern Colorado - Sand Creek Park is the Colorado portion of the Chimney Rock Ranch. Sand Creek enjoys the distinction of being one of the top recreational areas in Northern Colorado. The location is beautiful park land with rolling terrain, surrounded by high bluffs and thousands of acres of State and National Forest. Prior to modern ranching, the area hosted Indian tribes and buffalo. Archaeologists tell us thousands of buffalo were harvested along the huge sandstone bluffs. A number of owners continue to find Indian artifacts, arrowheads, tools and buffalo skulls.

Access is by two-wheel drive car in summer or under ideal weather and road conditions. In winter months, nature takes a break from all of the activity, as snow blankets the ranch, limiting access to only the most hardy. Owners drill for water or haul water in for the weekend. There are no public utilities serving the area. Solar energy, generators, wind turbines and cellular phone service provide alternatives. The Landowners' Association collect $2.00 per acre per year, for which the owners enjoy a stocked trout stream, security patrols during certain critical times of year, and summer road maintenance.
