The South Platte River downstream of Lake George to Cheesman Reservoir cuts this 1,200 foot deep gorge east of Lost Creek Wilderness.
This 7.3 mile stretch of the river was largely spared in the devastating 2002 Hayman Fire and is now one of the few healthy habitats in the Hayman burn area for large mammals, birds of prey, migrating songbirds, and wild trout.
Wild Connections, the South Park Ranger District and the Park County Land and Water Trust Fund are planning for a multi-year restoration project. We'll get a date soon!
