Not ready to call it on summer yet? Neither are we. Sterling has plenty left in the tank for one last getaway before the season turns.

🏕️ North Sterling State Park — camping, shore fishing, and dark prairie skies for stargazing. The Elks Boat Ramp on the north side is closed but the south ramp will remain open for the rest of the season. Check the park's page for the latest ramp status before you head out.

🏊 Sterling Recreation Center Outdoor Pool — cool off with the water slide, splash features, and pool time in town.

🚴 Gravel Biking — 1,600+ miles of unpaved roads through wide-open Logan County. The Gravel Adventure Field Guide is your key to routes and stories from the saddle.

One last summer weekend in northeastern Colorado, coming right up.
