Bird's eye view of the campground

Twin Eagle

## Overview

The beautiful Spruce Grove campground is positioned beside large rock
outcroppings on Tarryall Creek. Magnificent hiking trails to the Lost Creek
Wilderness Area are just steps away from the Creek Bridge. Located just 14
miles outside Lake George, Colorado, the area's wild inhabitants include black
bear, mule deer, elk, bighorn sheep and bobcats.

## Recreation

From the campground, hikers and horseback riders can traverse the Lizard Rock
Trail, a 2.5-mile trail that passes Hankins Pass Trail and intersects with the
Brookside-McCurdy Trail. Along the route are interesting rock formations that
some say look like a lizard. The extensive Brookside-McCurdy Trail is a former
pack trail in the Lost Creek Wilderness that can be backpacked in five to
seven days.  
  
Anglers seek rainbow and brown trout in both the creek and nearby lake. Due to
the limited parking within the campground, anglers and day hikers are asked to
park outside of the campground. A recommended fishing spot is 11 miles away at
the Tarryall Reservoir.

## Facilities

Spruce Grove offers nearly 27 reservable campsites. Parking aprons fit RVs up
to 35 feet in length and a maximum of eight guests are allowed to stay.
Drinking water from a hand pump, trash collection and vault toilets are among
the amenities at Spruce Grove. Each site comes with a picnic table and a
campfire ring.

## Natural Features

The campground is perched along Tarryall Creek at an elevation of 8,600 feet,
near Bayou Salado Reservoir. Campsites have little to no shade but are
surrounded by mature spruce, aspen and plenty of good looking boulders. The
area sits at the base of South Tarryall Peak and just north is McCurdy
Mountain with a peak of 12,173 feet.

## Nearby Attractions

Visitors enjoy the many great trails in the Lost Creek Wilderness, a
119,790-acre stretch of split boulders, rounded granite domes and knobs, rare
granite arches, and forested scenic overlooks.

**Peaks to Prairies - Tracks to Trails**

Pike and San Isabel National Forests & Cimarron and Comanche National
Grasslands (forest locator map) cover nearly 3 million acres, between the
prairies of western Kansas and some of Colorado's highest mountain peaks along
the Continental Divide. These sprawling forests and grasslands are an eight
hour drive from boundary to boundary. This landscape offers a variety of
ecosystems rich in history, geology, scenery, wildlife habitat and recreation
opportunities.

The rolling prairies to the east are home to prairie chickens, wildflowers,
paleontological resources and historical areas. The snow-capped Rockies to the
west are a scenic backdrop to millions of residents and a draw to forest
visitors. The forests are home to nearly half of Colorado's fourteeners with
numerous alpine lakes, reservoirs and key rivers. Over 385,000 acres of
Wilderness, the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, Colorado Trail, and
Santa Fe National Historic Trail are special areas worth exploring.

People who live near these areas maintain a strong relationship to the lands.
The commitment and volunteerism that these community members have for these
public lands is the foundation for our ability to maintain a quality,
sustainable recreation program in the face of intense, and growing, urban
demand.

****Critical Information about the use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems****

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) or “drones” are increasing in popularity and
can provide wonderful opportunities to explore the forest. Please be aware
