Roosevelt National Forest encompasses more than 800,000 acres in north-central Colorado. It’s located west of Fort Collins, following Highway 14 and the Cache La Poudre River.
The Roosevelt National Forest was set aside during Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency as part of the Medicine Bow Forest Reserve. It was originally named the Colorado National Forest in 1910, but the 815,000-acre parcel was renamed in 1932 in honor of Roosevelt, our greatest national conservation president.
