Colorado Parks and Wildlife invites you to the annual Ridgway Reservoir Smallmouth Bass Classic at Ridgway State Park. Anglers of all ages are encouraged to participate.

Join us for an immersive two-day <strong>Adventure Leadership Camp for Educators</strong> at Ridgway State Park’s new group camping facility. You’ll gain field archery instructor and fishing instructor support skills, hone outdoor team-building and leadership activities, and learn to craft hands-on field trips that spark student growth and deepen your ability to teach responsible recreation behaviors. We’ll also explore a guided local hike in Ouray, discovering ways to turn every trail into a living classroom. Recharge around the campfire in the evening as you connect with fellow educators and return to school ready to lead transformative outdoor adventures.

As a thank you to U.S. military members, Colorado Parks and Wildlife offers veterans, active-duty military and the National Guard free entry into Colorado state parks on Nov. 11, 2025.
