The annual Trails Bash hosted by Southern Colorado Trail Builders is taking place October 17, 2026 from 9:30am - 2:00pm at the South Shore trails at Lake Pueblo State Park. This annual event is THE time to celebrate the trails and connect with other folks in the community. The Trails Bash is free with your paid Lake Pueblo State Park day pass or annual pass. The South Shore Marina lower parking lot will be our home base for the event where we will convene before and after trail activities, eat lunch and play games. New in 2026 will be Bike Rodeo events for all ages, including a strider bike course for the little riders in your group.

MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS TO TRAIL SUSTAINABILITY
The trail work completed by Singletracks and funded by a grant from Colorado Parks and Wildlife in 2023 has significantly improved the trails. Sustainability issues were addressed, trails are now properly categorized as beginner, intermediate and advanced, and signage (installed by Southern Colorado Trail Builders volunteers) has been installed across the 47-mile South Shore trail network to make navigation more intuitive.
Who should come?
Everyone should come! This event is an annual celebration of enjoying trails and being outdoors. You do NOT need to be an SCTB member. Bring your friends, play your way on the trails and join the community for lunch.
Cost:
You will need to have a CPW parks pass or Lake Pueblo State Park day pass ($10/vehicle) to park in the park. The Trails Bash is a FREE event once you get there! Support our local state park and join us for the party!
