Colorado Parks and Wildlife manages the state parks system and the wildlife of the U.S. State of Colorado. The division currently manages the 42 state parks and 307 wildlife areas of Colorado.

History

Currently there are forty-two State Parks open to the public. The most recent, Staunton, opened in 2013. Lone Mesa will open in the coming years.

The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission is a layman's group of eleven members who are appointed by the Governor with legislative approval. The Board is charged with representing various geographic regions of the state while providing oversight and setting agency policy in a democratic way to assure the agency is responsive to the citizens of Colorado. This board meets every other month to review and set policy.
