Gill Trail traverses the South Platte River just below Cheesman Reservoir. Work is ongoing and focuses on reducing sediment going into the South PlatteRiver and improving habitat conditions along about four miles of trail that is used by an estimated 25,000 visitors per year. CUSP partners with the US Forest Service and volunteers to work on this trail. Morrow Mt.Trail Project, originally funded by a GOCO grant, includes a number of recreational enhancements to the 18-acre parcel known as McGraw Park. CUSP, the Park County Historical Society and volunteers will work on this trail to control erosion and use road base where needed for stabilization.

PLANNED PROPOSED

In addition to trail projects, CUSP has been and continues to partner with the Mosquito Range Heritage Initiative who seeks to preserve unique natural areas, historic sites, and promote diverse recreation within the Mosquito Range. Their study area corresponds with the headwaters of the Middle and South forks of the South Platte. By partnering with them on conservation and trail projects CUSP can make a difference in the headwaters of the Upper South Platte.
