Overview
Rifle Falls State Park, northeast of Rifle in Garfield County, is a 48-acre park with a 70-foot triple waterfall on Rifle Creek, which splits into three streams over a moss-covered travertine ledge. Caves behind the falls can be explored with a headlamp. It has a campground and short trails, and is close to the Rifle Gap Reservoir, a good family stop.
