Black Forest CO Area Guide

Black Forest is located in Colorado Springs, Colorado and had a population of 13,247 as of the 2000 census. Black Forest is named such for the high density of Ponderosa Pines located in a generally small area. In 2006, residents voted against a proposal to incorporate as a city. Framed by the Rocky Mountains, Black Forest was originally called “The Pinery” only to later be renamed by a German immigrant who thought it closely resembled the Black Forest of his homeland. Around the turn of the century, Black Forest was an important source of railroad ties and lumber that built the Pikes Peak region. Black Forest residents and visitors enjoy miles of wilderness trails for hiking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. The area abounds in wildlife and horses. Its rural commercial center offers a community center, volunteer fire station, country store, churches and other small businesses. Major shopping is a mere 10 minutes away.

Black Forest Parks & Recreation

Black Forest Regional Park
With the addition of approximately 200 acres, Black Forest Regional Park will now include a new vistor’s center located in Cathedral Pines. The 1,000 square foot space will serve as an interpretive and information center to both the citizens of northern El Paso County and visitors from outside our region.

With the new alignment of Milam Road, the existing trail network will be improved and will utilize a grade separated crossing under Milam Road. This will allow the safest route for all of our trail users.
