About Paonia State Park
A 1,857-acre tract set aside in a canyon around Paonia Reservoir along Muddy Creek defines this park. The reservoir fills the canyon floor, making the surrounding land and water the main feature protected here. Its acreage places it among the smaller state parks in Colorado's system.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
