Ghost town of South Park City
The Hartsel area was a summer destination for Mountain Utes who frequented the natural hot springs in Hartsel and hunted large herds of buffalo, deer and antelope that roamed South Park. Hartsel was founded in 1862 by Sam Hartsel, a Fifty-Niner who found gold in the area then turned to cattle ranching. This quaint town provides many amenities to visitors.
For the angler, Spinney Mountain Reservoir, Eleven Mile Canyon Reservoir and Antero Reservoir "Gold Metal" waters consistently produce the state's largest cutthroat trout, northern pike, rainbow and brown trout. The shallow waters and flood plain near the inlet of Spinney Mountain Reservoir support seasonal populations of white pelicans, blue herons, avocets, sandhill cranes, ibis, Canadian geese and several species of ducks.
