The Crawford Reservoir State Park and proximity to the Gunnison National Forest, Paonia State Park, West Elk Wilderness, Black Canyon National Park and the deep canyons of Curecanti Recreation Area make the Crawford area a paradise to live and play in.

Crawford Reservoir, located in Crawford State Park, provides year around challenges for anglers who enjoy matching wits with northern pike, trout, bass, and crappie. Camping is available in the park and boating, skiing, and swimming are permitted on the lake. The Crawford area also offers some of Colorado's finest big game hunting. Deer and elk can be found throughout.

Winter and summer sport opportunities are endless in the Crawford area. Hiking, biking, trail riding, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and fishing are just a few activities enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.

Black Canyon National Park brings its breathtaking beauty into the Crawford area. The North Rim, left in the primitive state, has fewer crowds, spectacular views and unprecedented heights. The sheerness and depths of this canyon once inspired President Roosevelt to consider this one of the state's most unusual features. People travel from around the world to climb the sheer walls of the majestic Black Canyon. For those who do not wish to scale the walls, there are trails for all ability levels.
