Staunton State Park phone 303-816-0912
Staunton State Park, north of US285 near Shaffer’s Crossing, is the most recently opened of Colorado’s state parks. The park features high grassy meadows at 8,100 feet in altitude to granite cliffs over 10,000 feet. “Staunton State Park’s varied geology, soils, water features, and climate support rare and unexpected plant communities and a rich diversity of wildlife…”
Although not listed as “accessible” several of the trails are smooth and easy. We walked just the lower first 2 miles of the Staunton Ranch trail, which meant a 4 mile round trip and my (then) 88 year old husband had no problem with it. Here is the Park’s website. There is a 20′ by 12′ ADA access fishing pier at the Davis Ponds. AllTrails’ description Park Brochure Trail Map Leashed pets are allowed.
A wonderful new development at Staunton is their motorized track chair. Call ahead to reserve the chair, which can be used on 10-15 miles of trail within the park. There is no extra charge other than the park’s pass required of everyone.
Davis Ponds Loop trail 2.3 miles is easy and has been recently improved. There are a couple of places that might be a little steep without brakes, but I have seen steeper labeled “wheelchair accessible”.
