The heritage area spans 45 miles and includes the lands within the 100-year floodplain of the Cache la Poudre River. It begins in Larimer County at the eastern edge of the Roosevelt National Forest and ends east of Greeley, 1/4 mile west of the confluence with the South Platte River.

The Poudre Heritage Alliance, the managing entity of the Cache la Poudre River National Heritage Area, is an exempt organization as described as a 501c3 of the internal revenue code; EIN 36-4507550.
The Cache la Poudre River National Heritage Area connects people to their river legacy by promoting historical and cultural opportunities, engaging people in the river corridor and inspiring learning, preservation, and stewardship.
The Cache NHA is one of 62 National Heritage Areas in the country, one of three in Colorado, designated by Congress as places where natural, cultural, and historic resources combine to form a cohesive, nationally important landscape. NHAs further the mission of the National Park Service (NPS) by fostering community stewardship of our nation’s heritage.
Through their resources, NHAs tell nationally important stories that celebrate our nation’s diverse heritage. NHAs are lived-in landscapes. Consequently, NHA entities collaborate with communities to determine how to make heritage relevant to local interests and needs.
Along the Cache NHA river section you can see reservoirs, pipelines, diversion ditches, pumps - all reminders of the long struggle to sustain a viable agricultural economy and meet the growing needs of an expanding population, while conserving the river's health. And, because the Poudre River is also a premiere recreation and learning destination, you will find people tubing, kayaking, rafting, exploring, studying, fishing, wading, walking, biking and more!
