The little town of Divide is approximately 7 miles west of Woodland Park.  It is home to some county services, Summit Elementary and is gradually adding some commercial services as well.  It is located on the Hwy 24 corridor at the busy interesection of Hwy 24 and Hwy 67.  Many of Colorado's outdoor sports and recreation areas are located west of Divide so these outdoor enthusiastes often stop in Divide as they travel to and from their skiing, hunting, camping, fishing, snowmobiling, hiking excursions while others travel south to Cripple Creek, Victor, Gold Camp and Mueller State Park.  Pikes Peak stands sentry over Divide as well and many home dwellers enjoy this view from their property.   

Rural living is available north, south, east and west of this little mountain town.  Most areas require well and septic although there are some with central water.  Topography is varies from high alpine to rolling ranchlands so there is something for everyone.  Homes vary from small cabins to fine estates; small lots to large acreages.

The historic town of Cripple Creek is in the southern part of Teller County, located approximately 30 miles from Woodland Park.  Half of the fun going to Cripple Creek is the drive to get there.  Whether you take Hwy 67 south from Divide or Teller County 1 from Florissant, the scenery is breathtaking.  When you drop into town off of Tenderfoot Hill on Hwy 67, the view will leave you breathless!  There are so many tourist attractions in this old mining town and Cripple Creek is one of three historic mining towns in Colorado that enjoys casino gambling. 

Located south of Cripple Creek at nearly 10,000 ft altitude is the sleepy little mining town of historic Victor.  Tourists love this little town as do the interesting folks who choose to live here.  Home to many little mom & pop shops, it is a delight to stroll down the streets with no fear of traffic, chatting with the locals and slowing down your pace a bit.  Many art bazaars are held here.  The CCV gold mine is very active in this mining district and there are several walking paths that lead you to historic mining sites where you can gape in awe at the scenery and learn some history of the area. 
The homes in this area are generally turn of the century so if you have a fancy to restore an old Victorian home, this town is for you.

Lake George is located on the Hwy 24 corridor 8 miles west of Florissant just over the Park County line.  This is a fisherman's paradise and it serves as the gateway to Eleven Mile canyon and resevoir.  It is also located at the intersection that leads to Tarryall with fishing, hiking and camping destinations.  This is a cute little mountain town with services targeted primarily to hunters, fishermen, campers and hikers.  There are some rural homes, cabins and land in every direction, many surrounded by National Forest.
