🌳 Since 2018, EVRPD crews have planted 242 trees at Estes Park Campgrounds at Mary's Lake, averaging around 30 tree per season! Native Colorado species such as ponderosa pines, aspens, and cottonwoods were chosen to ensure that they will thrive at this elevation and climate.

⛺️ So far this season, 15 trees have been planted to compliment the mature trees already onsite, and to provide additional shade to the campsites.

πŸ‚ The aspens and cottonwoods will also add a splash of beautiful gold to the campground area during the fall. The cottonwoods are extremely fast-growing, and 10 years from now, they may be 80 – 100 feet tall!

"Planting a tree is an act of generosity and faith, because you invest time and care today for a reward you might not personally see. Your selfless action ensures that future generations, local wildlife, and our community will ultimately enjoy the tree's shade and beauty." - EVRPD Workcamper

πŸ‚ Thousands of visitors are drawn to Estes Park each year to experience the annual elk rut and fall colors.

🦌 Elk encounters can also be more dangerous because huge herds gather in town at the Estes Park Golf Course and the males are more aggressive, territorial, and protective of their ladies.

❓ So what is the safest way to experience the magic of the season while giving wildlife the space they need?

βš“οΈ Rent a pontoon boat from Lake Estes Marina to safely view wildlife surrounded by stunning views of golden hillsides and snow capped peaks.

😎 Bring friends and family! We have boats to accommodate up to 10 people! We highly recommend booking in advance. Reserve your boat at https://tinyurl.com/marinarental

🍁Lake Estes Marina autumn hours:
Thursday: 8:00am - 5:00pm

πŸ₯³ Great news! More park improvements are coming to Stanley Park this fall!🍁

πŸš—Next week, the main parking lots at Stanley Park will be temporarily closed starting on Thursday, the 17th for Phase 1 of the paving project. Work is expected to last 4 to 6 weeks and we expect the lots to reopen by late October, weather permitting.

🫡 What you need to know:

πŸš™Alternative Parking: Visitors can park at the asphalt lot due east of the tennis courts, north of Manford Ave. The lots at Cherokee Draw are also an option, with park access available through the Highway 36 Underpass.

🌳Park Access: The park itself will remain open. Patrons can access the shelters, ballfields, pickleball/tennis courts, skate park, restrooms, dog park and playgrounds via the Fish Creek Trail, adjacent sidewalks and the Lake Estes Trail (through the Highway 36 Underpass).

⛑️Safety: Please stay clear of work crews, cones, barricaded areas, stakes and other construction-zone elements during the closure and be wary of heavy machinery throughout the duration of the project.

πŸ’™ We appreciate your patience as we work to improve your park facilities!
