Upcoming Events and activities
It's that time of year! Join us for our annual Summer Social and spend an evening with fellow trail lovers, recreation enthusiasts, volunteers, and community members.
With recent local events canceled this season due to low water and wildfire activity, we're especially looking forward to having a place where everyone can simply get together, catch up, and enjoy a fun summer evening.
Even better---It's Local's Night at the World Famous Whitewater Bar & Grill! Show your local ID to receive 20% off your meal! On top of that, the WWBG has been one of FAR's biggest supporters for years. Through their 1% for Trails sponsorship, every purchase helps fund trail building, maintenance, and recreation projects right here in our community.
So come on up to the party on Thursday! We'd love to see you there!

SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACT REPORT OF TRAILS
|
We are proud to have worked with the City of Cañon City and CU's Masters of the Environment (MENV) Program to create the region's first-ever economic impact report aligned with outdoor recreation amenities.
You can download the report here and read more about the positive impacts of trial systems on the local economy. We are excited to share this information with our community as we look to the future. Decisions to fund trails, create infrastructure, continue planning, and sustain development should be made with good data, and we are grateful to the CU students who have provided us with this! |
Trail Conditions
If you're looking for Canon City trail reports or Canon City trail conditions, please see our Trails page. We do our best to update these reports as often as possible (especially before the weekend). Please don't ride muddy trails. We are a small community with limited resources and volunteer capabilities. Thank you for being kind to trails!
