Fairplay, the seat of Park County, is on the
eastern slope of the Continental Divide.
Park County boasts more breathtaking scenery
above 9,000 feet altitude than any other
county in Colorado! We are served by State
Highway 9 and US Highway 285.
Park County was established in 1861 and
named after South Park, a 900-square mile
park in the geographic center of Colorado.
The mountain men who hunted and trapped in
South Park during the early 19th century
were the first Europeans to capitalize on
the area's resources.
Perhaps nowhere else in rural Colorado is
there a larger concentration of pioneer
structures than in the South Park area.
Among them is the state's last intact
railroad roundhouse and gold dredge. The
highest discovery of a Columbian mammoth in
North America was near Como.
Park County is known internationally for its
productive trout waters. South
Park also possesses the most miles of gold
medal water in the state. |

To qualify as gold medal, a
river must offer the greatest potential for
trophy trout fishing.
