An alternative to the standard Forest Service campgrounds is Rainbow Falls Park. This is a private fishing area that encourages Boy Scout Troops to come camp on the property. Of course, there is a fee which is $2.00 per person (as of 11/ 94). Besides fishing, there is a one-hundred-year-old trout farm (free tour), a spring that produces 450 gallons of 49-degree water each minute, Ute Indian Cave, Rainbow Falls, and horseback riding. There are additional fees for fishing ($5.00) and horseback riding ($10.00/hour).
How to get there: Rainbow Falls Park is 27 miles northwest of Colorado Springs. The park is located between Woodland Park and Deckers just off CO67. Take CO67 north of Woodland Park for 10 miles; turn east onto FSR348, then in a short distance left onto FSR350, you reach the lake in two more miles. Rainbow Falls Park is illustrated on all editions of the Pike National Forest map. To make reservations call a couple of weeks in advance; 1 (719) 687-9074.
