When it comes to conserving and recreating on our trails, rivers, and open spaces - what matters most to you?

The Roaring Fork Outdoor Coalition brings together local, state, and federal land managers who care for our natural spaces and recreational opportunities (like Pitkin County Open Space and Trails!) to consider how we can conserve and maintain them in the future.

Right now, the Coalition is mapping out where to focus efforts in the coming years, and your feedback will help shape those decisions.

Take 5 minutes to complete a questionnaire and share your feedback on what to prioritize first. The questionnaire closes on May 18.

Even with dry conditions, the seasonal closures at Homestead L and the Eagle River Preserve are in effect through April 15th. Please give wildlife the best chance to survive and respect these closures.

Access Update at Homestead L Open Space:

This area is experiencing a prolonged period of muddy trail conditions from recent snow-melt cycles. Homestead L Open Space will be temporarily closed to prevent further damage to the trail surface and surrounding vegetation.

Please help keep this trail system in the best possible condition by avoiding this area for at least the next few days. Staff will reply to this post when it is dry and ready for use.

Please call 970-328-8701 for questions.
