Mancos State Park, State park in Mancos, Colorado, US.
Located near the La Plata Mountains, this 553-acre park features 32 campsites, 10 picnic areas, and 5.2 miles of trails along Jackson Gulch Reservoir.
The Ancestral Puebloan civilization inhabited the Four Corners region surrounding current Mancos State Park from 1 CE until approximately 1300 CE.
The name Mancos originates from Spanish explorers who named the nearby river 'Rio de los Mancos' after an injured companion in their expedition.
The park entrance station provides daily passes from October through May when the visitor center remains closed, with vehicle entry costing 10 dollars.
The Jackson Gulch Reservoir within the park functions as both a recreational water body and an essential irrigation source for local agricultural operations.
