(TRINIDAD, Colo.) — Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is inviting the public to a series of meetings to discuss future plans for managing Fishers Peak State Park.

The 10-year management plan will build on the master plan for the park, approved in 2022, and it will implement that document’s broad vision for visitor experience, recreation opportunities, protection of cultural and natural resources, and the development of park infrastructure, CPW said.

At the meetings, CPW staff will share a brief history of the park, a summary of past planning, and an overview of the current management planning process. Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet with CPW staff and ask questions about the park’s management plan.

CPW said the management plan is important because just over 16 miles of trails and limited hunting opportunities are currently open to the public while the park continues to be designed and constructed. 

The first meeting, on Tuesday, Nov. 12, will be a virtual gathering on Zoom. It is scheduled 6-7:30 p.m. To attend the meeting, guests must register in advance.

The second meeting is scheduled for 6-7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 19, at the Trinidad State College, 600 Prospect St., Trinidad, 81082 in the Pioneer Room inside the Sullivan Center. The public is invited to register in advance for this meeting, also.

In addition to the meetings, CPW will also accept public input through Dec. 13.
