South Fork sits at the intersection of two highways in Southwest Colorado and serves as the unofficial gateway to true Colorado. Incorporated in 1992, South Fork is one of Colorado?s newest towns but its roots in logging and farming extend prior to the 1870s. As an introduction to the outdoor opportunities offered by the region, South Fork is home to fly fishing on the gold medal waters of the Rio Grande River in the summer and serves as a great winter basecamp for those looking to snowmobile miles of trails to the south or for visitors making the daily trip to Wolf Creek Ski Area. Just 20 minutes from South Fork is phenomenal Wolf Creek Ski Area, which boasts some of Colorado?s best powder skiing. The ski area is also known for having one of the state?s highest annual snowfalls, creating a skier?s paradise with five different lifts, runs for all ability levels, and access to the backcountry. One of South Fork?s most notable areas and attributes is the Rio Grande Club, which features beautiful homes, creeks, a restaurant and an 18-hole championship golf course. The course winds its way along the Rio Grande River, passes beautiful pine and aspen groves, and consists of dramatic elevation changes which provide not only challenging shots but beautiful vistas as well. These are just a few of the wonderful assets South Fork has to offer.
