History: Larkspur was incorporated in 1979, with a small town feel of 310 residents and is home to the annual Colorado Renaissance Festival that attracts more than 180,000 visitors annually.

Shopping: Larkspur’s major grocery stores are a 15-20 minute drive away. Major shopping areas are a 25-45 minutes drive on Interstate 25. Castle Rock is the closest large town with a major chain grocery store. And just a little further away are both Denver and Colorado Springs. A forty-minute drive will get you to either city, and so Larkspur has become the perfect “commuter” town.

Recreation: Larkspur has something to offer everyone. There are one million acres of Pike National Forest surrounding the area and the addition of Mueller State Park, numerous recreational opportunities are available including horseback riding, fishing, skiing and mountain biking to name a few.

Larkspur has two local Golf Courses, Bear Dance and Perry Park.
