Greetings
from sunny and beautiful South Fork, Colorado. Thank You for your
interest in our mountain properties.
South
Fork is located in south-central Colorado at the base of Wolf
Creek Pass. We are only 4 hours from Denver or Albuquerque, 3
to 3 1/2 hours to Colorado Springs or Sante Fe and 2 hours to
Durango or Taos.
We
are surrounded by nearly 2 million acres of the Rio Grande National
Forest, the largest national forest in the state. The Rio Grande
River meanders through our pristine valley and offers some of
the best trout fishing in the west. There are some 500 miles of
river and creek tributaries and numerous lakes and reservoirs
within an hour of South Fork. The Silver Thread Scenic Byway originates
in town and follows the Rio Grande to it's headwaters in the San
Juan Mountains, near the Continental Divide.
The
area is rich in cultural and historical significance. The Ute
Indians and other tribes inhabited and hunted through our mountains
and valleys. Creede, a few miles up river, had it's heyday with
silver and gold mining boom and bust. Notorious figures such as
Jesse James and Bob Ford frequented the area. With the closing
of the mines, Creede has emerged as a popular tourist draw with
cute shops, restaurants and galleries. Creede Repertory Theatre
is the center of activity through the summer months with terrific
plays and entertainment.
Please

of Southern Colorado. Come and live where everyone wants to play!!
