South Platte River

The South Platte River flows from its headwaters in the Mosquito Range west of South Park across Colorado’s northeastern plains. From downtown Fairplay to the Nebraska border at Julesburg, its course through Colorado is approximately 380.3 miles.

As it meanders through Logan County, the South Platte River includes several channels and flows near the Overland Trail Recreation Area. Fishing is optional, and there are many scenic walking/hiking trails along the Sterling stretch.
