Winter Park is a year-round, high country playground that is unmatched in natural splendor.
Everything is available from skiing to snowcat tours, mountain biking to Alpine Slide rides, and everything in between. The town of Winter Park grew out of a small unincorperated community developed around a gas station, a small motel, and a restaurant on Hwy. They accomodated weekend skiers, hunters, and summer vacationers. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, developers realized the potential of the area and constructed condominiums, motels, and retail shops. The village was incorporated in 1978 and the name was changed from Hideaway Park to Winter Park.
