FRONT STREET: Fairplay

Visiting the whole town of Fairplay is far from a ’20 min’ stop along I-285, but having a picnic along the river and enjoying Front Street certainly is not!

As you enter the town of Fairplay, take a right turn onto Main street.  Look to you left for 8th Street, and turn left.  Follow 8th until it turns into Front Street.picnic bench and flower pot high in mountain area

Along Front Street in Fairplay, you’ll find gravel areas to rest your car and trailer.  Front Street runs along the Middle Fork of the South Platte River.  There are picnic areas here, places to use the restroom and quaint restaurants for a quick lunch.  After lunch, enjoy walking the tiny Olde Town and take a peek into historic South Park City.
