The Pagosa Springs area boosts
some of the finest recreational opportunities available anywhere
in the world. Many of the residents of the area cite access
to recreation as one of the prime reasons for choosing to
live here, where outdoor recreation is truly a year-round
activity. Receration is also a main component of Pagosa's
thriving tourism industry.
Winter time recreation centers
around downhill skiing and snowboarding at the local Wolf
Creek Ski Area, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing
on numerous area trails, ice skating in a town park beside
the San Juan River, ice fishing in area lakes, and family
sledding trips to various sledding hills around town.
As the snow melts in the Spring,
the San Juan River and other nearby rivers swell with run-off
and attract rafting and kayaking enthusiasts. Challenging
and easy hiking trails begin to thaw, drawing mountain bikers
and hikers into the wilderness.
The town's 27-hole golf course
opens to the public. Campers, in RV's and tents, begin to
use the area's numerous campgrounds. The recreational boating
scene starts up at Navajo Lake and other local lakes. Fishermen
appear on the shores of lakes and rivers. Horseback rides
are offered by local outfitters.
 In
the Fall, hunters from around the country arrive in the Pagosa
area to hunt deer and elk. The recreational outdoors continues
to attract visitors late into October, as the first dustings
of snow hit the mountains, and the skiers and snowboarders begin
waxing up for another round of recreational fun.
And, of course, all with
world class accommodations and great restaurants! We can arrange
a package or activity for you!
