Participate in the Park Management Plan
Public Comment Period Open June 10 to July 16, 2025
Colorado Parks and Wildlife staff are completing the Staunton State Park Management Plan. The park has previously been operating under their Master Plan which was developed in 2010. This new plan will serve as an overarching management guide for the park by outlining short- and long-term visitor, recreation, resource and infrastructure management visions for the park. It will chart the management priorities and specific management directions for current and future park staff.
At the June 28 - 29, 2025 Marmot Festival at Staunton State Park, there will have a booth where staff can provide information about ways to provide input and how it will inform the park management plan!
If you are interested in providing feedback on this management plan, please visit engagecpw.org/staunton-state-park-management-plan and fill out the Staunton State Park Management Plan Feedback Form during the open engagement dates.
