Fly Fishing

Fishing just steps from the cabins and yurts. State Bridge sits on the headwaters of the Colorado River, known for its abundance of rainbow and brown trout. Book a float trip on one of the numerous sections of the river and glide through canyons while casting a fly and sipping a cold drink. If you are looking some ‘serenity now’, let us point you in the direction of an isolated stretch of water where you can get lost in thought and nature. The best fishing is from late May after the Spring run off into the late Fall. During the months of September and October the river is wrapped in brilliant Fall colors and bald eagles are in abundance over head! Call us or email us to book you fly fishing adventure and we will pair you with some of the best outfitters in Colorado and the West!

Hot Springs

State Bridge is less then an hour away from three major hot springs plus a hidden gem we’ll tell you about that is 10 minutes away. There is nothing better then soaking and relaxing in the therapeutic hot waters of a natural Colorado hot spring. Native Americans and early western pioneers visited the springs for healing, meetings and bathing.
