Trail Information

Highlights

Devoid of Colorado's grandeur, Chicken Park is located near Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. Locals like this area for its fishing, camping, and rock formations. The rock formations are unique: they are soft-edged blobs of granite pushed up from the earth millions of years ago. Finding camping sites nestled in lodgepole, spruce, and aspen trees is easy on this trail, or if you are lucky enough to be there at the right time, you can camp right on the edge of Creedmore Lake. This is an excellent trail for leaf-peeping on a Sunday afternoon, and be sure to bring your fishing pole.

Today I rode from Waypoint #1 to Creedmore Lakes. A few badly rutted spots because of all the rain we've had this year but navigable. Very few people on the trail despite being a gorgeous summer Saturday in August. Met a couple of hunters (like myself) who were out scoping the terrain in anticipation of fall hunts.

An abundance of wildflowers and lush meadows (and mosquitos and black flies, bring repellant if you plan on walking around). Lots of rain this year so there are many easy water crossings. Plenty of dispersed camping. The trail near waypoints 11 and 17 have deep mud and almost small ponds of water. You can probably get through with 4x4 and high clearance but you may want to have some recovery gear just in case.
