Trails and Open Space

Our trails crisscross the City of Salida and are deeply loved by bike riders, skateboarders, roller skaters, and runners alike. Our Parks and Recreation Department maintains the 5.5 miles of trails that connect our City - from the Arkansas River to the skatepark, to the school soccer fields. In addition, our department manages 400 acres of open space for people to mountain bike, hike and run. 

We partner with local organizations to help maintain our trails and support Salida in building new ones. Check out Salida Mountain Trails and Salida Area Parks, Open Space and Trails to learn more about our trail systems, trail conditions and ways to volunteer.
