The Cache la Poudre River National Heritage Area (CALA) spans the Cache la Poudre River corridor from Bellvue to Greeley, Colorado. The Poudre Heritage Alliance nonprofit organization has been designated by congress to contribute to the preservation of CALA's history and heritage while educating the public about the river's historical significance. CALA was designated a National Heritage Area by the United States Congress in 2009. The Poudre is historically significant for its contribution to the development of Western water law and the evolution of complex water delivery systems. It has also played a crucial role in regional economic development and has become a focal point for recreation.

  Our journey today led us through the winding road along side the river. The snow covered areas with break through areas of running water was simply beautiful. Well worth the drive!  more »

  I've spent many days throughout the years picnicking, and hiking on the Poudre. I'm a native of Fort Collins so the Poudre was the go-to place. Beautiful river, well-maintained picnic areas.  more »
