245 Bear Creek Road, Colorado Springs, CO 80906 Phone: 719-520-6387
All programs meet at the Nature Center unless indicated otherwise. To reach the Center from the intersection of I-25 and Highway 24, go west on Highway 24 to 26th Street, proceed south on 26th Street to Bear Creek Road.
Hike the foothills, search for mule deer, and discover Bear Creek! Scrub oak thicket, ponderosa pine forests, meadows, a mountain creek, and abundant foothills wildlife attract children and adults to Bear Creek Regional Park and Nature Center. Interpretive programs, special events, guided and self-guided tours, and media presentations are offered all year.
Outside, two miles of self-guiding nature trails wind through the short grass prairie, scrub oak woodlands and cottonwood riparian communities. The nature trails are for "foot traffic only" and pets are prohibited. The regional trails are open to hiking, horseback riding, and pets on a leash.
Hours of Operation:
Bear Creek Nature Center is open Wednesday through Friday 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
