Black Forest-Just minutes from the north end of Colorado Springs is the Black Forest, a combination of dense pine forest and wide open rolling pine stubbled prairie. Certain parts of Black Forest offer stunning views of "Pikes Peak" and the Front Range. Home sites average 5 acres, restrictions are very light to non-existent and horses are OK with the exception of a few exclusive subdivisions. Recreation includes an equestrian center, a 240-acre county park, and the 320-acre Fox Run Regional Park.
