About
Imported descriptionNew Castle Extensive Recreation Management area is abundant in recreational opportunities. Mountain biking has become prevalent, though all trails are open to horseback and hikers as well. The Colorow trail is in the heart of the area, providing trail users beautiful views of the Grand Hogback and town of New Castle. Several miles of new trails were added to the system in 2017. This area is also home to wildlife including mule deer, elk, foxes, and mountain lions. Trails are closed to bike use from December 1st to April 15th to protect these wintering animals. Located near the New Castle RMA is the Strom King Memorial Site. Storm King Memorial Trail is dedicated to the 14 brave firefighters who gave their lives fighting the South Canyon fire in 1994. For more information on this site click here, or please contact the Colorado River Valley Field Office.
