The land consists of a large natural and camping area immediately along the river and a high bench of land where the original Fort Lancaster was located.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=&#8221;Read More&#8221;]\nAlong the river, in groves of cottonwood trees are camping areas that can be used by Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops with reservations. These camping areas are also used by the re-enactment department of the SPVHS &#8211; the Tallow River Trappers &#8211; to hold periodic rendezvous events. Immediately along the river are nature areas that are home to deer, turkey, foxes and other animals and birds. At the north end of the historic park is a muzzleloading shooting range leased by the Fort Lupton Muzzleloading Club.<\/p>\n<p>Start your tour of the historic park at the re-creation of Fort Lancaster, which was in operation from 1836 to 1844. Move down the path and see the restored trapper cabin from the 1850s, which was originally located down along the Platte River in Adams County. Moving further down the path, your will see both the Independence School built in 1875 and the Donelson homestead house built in the 1860s. The Donelson House and the Independence School represent the settlement of the Platte Valley started by the early fur trappers and traders.[\/su_spoiler][\/su_accordion]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 15px;

Although the TRT supports and coordinates its activities with the South Platte Valley Historical Society, the organization has its own officers, funding and newsletter, the &#8220;Dispatch&#8221;.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=&#8221;Read More&#8221;]\nThe lower portion of the South Platte Valley Historic Park, along the South Platte River, is dedicated to rendezvous and primitive camping. This area is partially wooded. Water is available on site, as is limited firewood and &#8220;Hooters.&#8221; In order to protect the grounds for future users, above-ground fire pits are required for campfires. An area is designated for &#8220;tin tipis&#8221; for those not wishing to go primitive.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of each rendezvous held at the South Platte Valley Historic Park is to recreate the look and feel of the late fur trade era, rather than to recreate a specific event. The Tallow River Trappers in conjunction with the South Platte Valley Historical Society holds three major rendezvous through out the year.. The Frozen Toes Rendezvous is the first rendezvous of the year and is held the last weekend in February. The Lancaster Restoration Rendezvous is held Memorial Day Weekend. Finally, the Trapper Days Rendezvous held on the weekend following Labor Day coincides with the town of Fort Lupton&#8217;s Trapper Days Celebration. Day time activities at these events include shooting, tomahawk and knife throwing on the range, a woods walk, and fire starting contests add to the fun of the rendezvous.[\/su_spoiler][\/su_accordion]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 0px;\"><a class=\"blue\" href=\"\/site\/event\/fort-lupton-heritage-fair\/\">View Frozen Toes Rendezvous Details<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 0px;\"><a class=\"blue\" href=\"\/site\/event\/lancaster-restoration-rendezvous\/\">View Lancaster Restoration Rendezvous Details<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 0px;\"><a class=\"blue\" href=\"\/site\/event\/trapper-days-rendezvous\/\">View Trapper Days Rendezvous Details<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 0px;\"><a class=\"blue\" href=\"\/site\/event\/hunters-widows-rendezvous\/\">View Hunters Widows Rendezvous Details<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 0px;\"><a class=\"blue\" href=\"\/site\/event\/fort-lupton-heritage-fair\/\">View Fort Lupton Heritage Fair Details<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"><a class=\"blue\" href=\"\/site\/event\/colorado-colonial-encampment\/\">View Colorado Colonial Encampment Details<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","slug":"tallow-river-trappers","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/tallow-river-trappers-10-850x567.jpg","id":10542,"extension":"jpg","width":850,"height":567,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/tallow-river-trappers-10-850x567-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"width":300,"height":200,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/tallow-river-trappers-10-850x567-300x200.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":512,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/tallow-river-trappers-10-850x567-768x512.jpg"},"blog-large":{"width":669,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/tallow-river-trappers-10-850x567-669x272.jpg"},"blog-medium":{"width":320,"height":202,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/tallow-river-trappers-10-850x567-320x202.jpg"},"portfolio-full":{"width":850,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/tallow-river-trappers-10-850x567-850x400.jpg"},"portfolio-one":{"width":540,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/tallow-river-trappers-10-850x567-540x272.jpg"},"portfolio-two":{"width":460,"height":295,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/tallow-river-trappers-10-850x567-460x295.jpg"},"portfolio-three":{"width":300,"height":214,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/tallow-river-trappers-10-850x567-300x214.jpg"},"portfolio-five":{"width":177,"height":142,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/tallow-river-trappers-10-850x567-177x142.jpg"},"recent-posts":{"width":700,"height":441,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/tallow-river-trappers-10-850x567-700x441.jpg"},"recent-works-thumbnail":{"width":66,"height":66,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/tallow-river-trappers-10-850x567-66x66.jpg"},"fusion-200":{"width":200,"height":133,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/tallow-river-trappers-10-850x567-200x133.jpg"},"fusion-400":{"width":400,"height":267,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/tallow-river-trappers-10-850x567-400x267.jpg"},"fusion-600":{"width":600,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/tallow-river-trappers-10-850x567-600x400.jpg"},"fusion-800":{"width":800,"height":534,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/tallow-river-trappers-10-850x567-800x534.jpg"}}},"website":"http:\/\/www.spvhs.org\/tallow-river-trappers.html","email":"specialevent@spvhs.org","json_ld":{"@type":"Person","name":"Tallow River Trappers","description":"&lt;p&gt;Tallow River Trapper has their own campsite below Fort Lancaster in Fort Lupton, Colorado.
