Winter Park is a very small town in Grand County, Colorado. Located just west of the capital city of Denver in the breathtaking Rocky Mountains, Winter Park is very famous for its ski resort. Winter sports are definitely not the only activity here, however. Spring and summer bring mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, rafting, fishing and golfing into play. The amazing fall foliage is not to be missed. This is surely a four season town!

It has a walking trail, a fly fishing platform and a toad pond.
