Chris Park is located near Haviland Lake in southwestern Colorado, 18 miles north of Durango.
Visitors enjoy the area for its hiking, canoeing and fishing opportunities.
Several trailheads are in the vicinity, including Forebay, Goulding, Elbert Creek and Purgatory Flats. The historic Rico-to-Rockwood Wagon Road passes through Chris Park. Built in the late 1800s, the road was used for six years until the railway opened.

A volleyball court is located near this site as well. Picnic tables and campfire rings provided, as are vault toilets and drinking water.
The campground is situated in a mostly flat, open area, shaded by scattered ponderosa pine trees. Haviland Lake is a short drive from the site.
Beautiful Haviland Lake is less than two miles from the campground. The 80-acre, no-wake lake offers boating, canoeing and fishing. Accessible fishing docks are located on the lakeshore. Contact Info For facility specific information, please call (661) 702-1420.
