Black Forest
Bordering the north end of Colorado
Springs, Colorado, the area encompasses some 200,000 acres, and is roughly defined
as the area from Highway 83 to Eastonville Road, and County Line road to Woodmen Road in
unincorporated El Paso County. The area is heavily wooded with some open grassland areas,
primarily on the southern boundary, and is characterized by mostly 5 acre and larger lots
in a rural setting. This beautiful area was named by a German Immigrant who thought that
the dark hue of the Ponderosa Pine very closely resembled The Black Forest in Germany. The
area abounds in wildlife, and horses are a common sight. The elevation varies from
approximately 6500-7800 feet, with Dennis's house at 7750 being the highest house in the
Forest. Although the area is rapidly growing, the population is estimated to be about
11,500. The commercial center of Black Forest is the corner of Shoup and Black Forest
Roads where one can find the Community Center, Volunteer Fire Station, churches, gas
station and country store.
