About Poudre Park

Poudre Park formed from a small cluster of homes in the early 1920s and remains the relaxed retreat of a number of mostly older residents seeking mountain quietude. At an elevation of 5,676 feet, the air is clear and the stars breath-taking. The community is almost entirely residential, consisting of a cluster of small cabins and trailers surrounded by a few larger houses, a church, a community center, a fire station, a campground and a small store. The name 'Cache La Poudre' comes, according to local legend, from the label placed on the map of a French trapper to indicate where he had hidden a stash of gunpowder and is pronounced 'cash la pooder' by locals.
