Colorado’s newest state park plans partial weekend opening
DENVER -- A small portion of the newest state park in Colorado is scheduled to open beginning this weekend.
The Denver Post reports Fishers Peak State Park is expected to open following a ribbon cutting Friday by Democratic Gov. Jared Polis.
The new park eventually will encompass 30 square miles, but less than 1 square mile will open this weekend. Fishers Peak is located 7 miles north of the New Mexico border.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials say they want the limited opening to give the public a sense of the hiking, hunting and wildlife opportunities the park will offer.
