Baca County is situated in the far southeast corner of Colorado. The area is a unique combination of plains, canyons and buttes that create a picturesque open landscape.The southeast corner of Baca County is crossed by the Cimarron branch of the Santa Fe Trail. The trails served as an important route for commerce and cultural exchange in the development of the West beginning in the mid 1800s.
Baca County offers opportunities for camping and swimming at Two Buttes Reservoir State Wildlife Area. There is great Canadian and snow gees hunting at Turks Pond. Other small game such as ring-necked pheasant, turkey, quail, duck and dove are hunted in Baca County. Black Hole and Two Buttes Reservoir provide fishing for bass, perch, trout and walleye.
Picture Canyon offers a unique combination of historical resources. Petroglyphs that were made by American Indians are great fun to view. The Equinox Festivals are held every spring and fall in Springfield. This is a great time to see Crack Cave and find out more about a prehistoric calendar.
