Mueller State Park to host annual firewood fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 10

September 17, 2026

DIVIDE, Colo. – Firewood generated by ongoing forest-thinning work at Mueller State Park will be offered to the public in a fundraiser sponsored by Friends of Mueller State Park.

On Oct. 10, the Friends group will hold the firewood event at the park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., while supplies last.

The park is located three miles south of Divide on Colorado Highway 67. The firewood collection site will be approximately one mile north of the main park entrance on the west side of Highway 67, near the intersection of Cantiberry Road. Turn west at the gate for directions to the loading area.

The Friends group, which raises money for improvements to the park, will be offering mixed dry and green, un-split firewood rounds cut to approximately 12-24 inches. The group is seeking cash-only donations of $80 for a short-bed pickup and $120 for a long-bed pickup. Trailers up to 20 feet will be allowed this year. All the wood will be self-loaded.

“Please join us in supporting the Friends of Mueller State Park, support our forest health, and stock up on firewood at bargain prices,” said Park Manager Brian Kerrigan. “The Friends of Mueller State Park continue to be a valuable partner with the park and this firewood sale is an important fundraiser for them.”
