A rustic mountain park with spectacular mountain vistas. Just off the beautiful San Juan Skyway and surrounded by the majestic San Juan mountain range, Mancos State Park is southwest Colorado's hot spot for excellent fishing and camping. Located 10 miles from
Mesa Verde National Park, the reservoir at Mancos State Park is a beautiful setting. Pleasant climate, year-round trout fishing and a campground in a mature Ponderosa pine forest combine to create an outdoor haven that can't be beat. Nearby attractions include the Four Corners area of the state (where the borders of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah meet). Ancient
Puebloan ruins are preserved and displayed at the nearby Anasazi Heritage Center, a museum in Dolores, about 20 miles northwest of Mancos; the Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge railroad is located in nearby Durango -- 27 miles east of Mancos.
