Bassam Park

Bassam Park Road, FS Road 187, is located within the San Isabel National Forest approximately ten miles east of Johnson Village. This area of the National Forest, commonly referred to as “Fourmile”, contains hundreds of roads and spurs which provide a broad spectrum of outdoor recreational opportunities. Bassam Park is noted for its high buttes and volcanic stone towers, spring-fed creeks, and numerous beaver dam ponds. It is popular among OHV users, mountain bikers, hikers, and equestrians. The area includes maintained dirt roads suitable for stock vehicles (it is not uncommon to see ordinary passenger sedans and minivans on some trails) in addition to more difficult 4WD roads. Accessibility, a great variety of outdoor activities, and expansive views of the Collegiate Peaks and Arkansas River Basin are the greatest attractions in this area.
