Wild Basin is an area of scenic trails and the southeastern entrance station of Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, United States. It is located north of Allenspark, CO off State Highway 7.
A dirt road leads to a ranger station, parking and horseback or hiking trails. The trail to Bluebird Lake and Ouzel Lake follows the North St. Vrain Creek (which is a tributary of the South Platte River) passing Calypso Cascades and Ouzel Falls along the way, leading to Ouzel Lake and Bluebird Lake. Both Ouzel Falls and Ouzel Lake are named after a North American species of bird, Cinclus mexicanus, also known as a dipper. Other trails lead to Thunder Lake, Finch Lake, and Pear Lake. There is only one main road through the park, which was paved in six years by 35 convicts.
