Exploring Rifle Falls State Park

We're in Rifle this week for the Rifle Rendezvous. During some spare time Thursday afternoon, a visit to Rifle Falls State Park seemed like just the thing!

The park's lush vegetation and waterfalls have attracted photographers and movie crews from around the country who come to capture the area's unique scenery.

A short trail takes you from the base of Rifle Falls to the top. The view is extraordinary.

As early as 1884, Rifle Falls has been a tourist attraction. When James Watson created the Rifle Falls Ranch, he charged admission for viewing the caves and waterfalls on the property. From 1890 until 1922, Allan Zerbe operated the Zerbe Resort, which offered cabins for overnight tourists.

In 1919 the town of Rifle built the Rifle Hydroelectric Plant. This plant was one of the first hydroelectric power stations in Colorado. From 1908 until 1959 the falls were a source of hydroelectric power for the town of Rifle. Public Service Company bought the plant in 1915 and operated it until 1952.

Once Rifle Falls became a state park in 1966, recreation was the focal point again. Rifle Falls State Park is the closest you'll get to the tropics in Colorado. The falls is a lush area of trees and greenery kept moist by the spray of the cascading triple waterfall.

Another beautiful view from above Rifle Falls.

Picnicking near the falls is very popular. Mysterious limestone caves beneath the falls entice spelunkers and other curious visitors to explore their dark depths. Because of its dramatic setting, many weddings and events have been held at Rifle Falls.

Rifle Falls State Park has 13 drive-in and seven walk-in campsites that sit to the south along East Rifle Creek. In 1998, the park underwent a facelift: new pavement, picnic tables, interpretive signs and increased handicapped access. "Roughing it" is a little easier with electricity at many campsites. 

You can find more information about the park by clicking here.

In the meantime, enjoy our photos from today!

Geology buffs will have a field day at Rifle Falls State Park!
