Welcome to beautiful Gilpin County, Colorado! Gilpin County is a rural community in Colorado’s high country, neighboring the Continental Divide yet less than an hour west of downtown Denver. Residents enjoy a quality of life enhanced by the vast recreational opportunities offered by Golden Gate State Park, the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, limited-stakes gaming in Black Hawk and Central City, a state-of-the-art recreation center and fairgrounds, low taxes, and a financially secure local government. Not to mention a fine little rural library.
