Where’s Guffey?

Guffey is located in southern Park County, just off Highway 9 on County Road 102, right in the heart of Colorado. It’s situated at about 8,700 feet elevation.

Surrounded by beautiful forests and varied terrain, visitors find opportunities for outdoor recreation in every direction—fishing, hunting, hiking, biking, rafting, boating, and more.

Eleven Mile State Park, Paradise Cove (aka Guffey Gorge), and several other great hiking spots can be found nearby. Gold Medal waters of the South Platte River, including The Dream Stream, plus other outstanding fishing at Eleven Mile and Spinney Mountain reservoirs, are right up the road from the lodge. Traveling under 30 miles in various directions, one can arrive at Cripple Creek, Royal Gorge, the Arkansas River, Florissant Fossil Beds, and Hartsel. Located off the beaten path, yet close to many great recreational spots, Guffey is both remote and accessible.
