Staunton - Davis Ponds

DAVIS PONDS TRAIL @ STAUNTON STATE PARK 🎣

Need a flat stroller-friendly trail? Welcome to Davis Ponds Trail, where we passed many families hiking and jogging with little ones on wheels! 👶

Staunton State Park boasts so many varying trail types (biking, hiking, ATVing), but coming across a flat, stroller friendly trail is always a pleasant surprise.

🗺 2.3 mile loop- This trail has a couple route options, but all roads lead back to the trailhead so you won’t get lost.

⏰ Only an hour from Castle Rock, in Pine, CO.

🚽 There are restrooms at the Visitor Center (close to the trailhead) and at the ponds near the end.

🧺 Plenty of picnic spots! Some of them are shaded/covered.

🏠 The visitor center has a great area for kids to play and explore. I personally loved reading about the Stauntons and how the land was used before it was acquired (fun fact, one part of the park was once used as a nudist colony 👀)

🎣 You can fish at the pond once you reach the furthest end of the loop! The pier is ADA accessible but you need to make accommodations at least 2 days in advance according to the website.

🚗 There is a parking lot near the trailhead, but just know it’s not huge and fills up in busy days. We got lucky 😅

🎟 Requires a state park pass, you can purchase day passes there.

We’re out of strollers for good, but having a wheel-friendly option is so important, more than just for babies. I love knowing that people of all abilities can enjoy these wonderful state parks.

**There may be a couple of steep spots if you do not have brakes for your stroller.
