State Forest State Park, State park in Jackson County, Colorado, US.

State Forest State Park covers 70,838 acres in the Medicine Bow Range of the Rocky Mountains, east of Walden in Jackson and Larimer counties. About 52,000 acres are forested with lodgepole pine, Douglas fir, Colorado blue spruce and aspen. The park holds alpine lakes, rounded grey and brown mountain ridges, and 94 miles of hiking trails.

The park was established in 1970, marking a major step in expanding Colorado's network of public wilderness areas for recreation and resource protection. This decision opened a large natural landscape to public access while maintaining conservation standards.

North Park calls itself the moose viewing capital of Colorado, and the park's staff put the animal at the centre of its identity: "Moose is our claim to fame." More than 600 moose live in the area and can be seen year-round, which shapes how visitors use the park and what they come looking for.

State Forest State Park holds 187 campsites for tents and RVs, plus over 60 dispersed sites, 15 cabins and yurts, picnic areas and boat ramps. Its 94 miles of hiking trails start from the visitors' center. The park lies east of Walden in Jackson and Larimer counties, so plan for mountain weather and long drives between services.

North Park, the valley the park occupies, holds more than 600 moose, and the animals are the park's stated claim to fame. Moose were not native here historically; they moved into northern Colorado in the late 20th century. The park's visitor center is named for them.
