Sterling is home to the North Sterling Reservoir State Park, a large facility that draws visitors from all over the region on a regular basis. To the west of Sterling lie the Pawnee National Grasslands--miles and miles of peaceful prairie dotted with beautiful wild flowers and animals plus some occasional bluffs that rise into the air like sleeping giants. More than 80,000 visitors a year come to this area to tour the grasslands.

A number of other amenities and facilities provide great resources to this area and draw large crowds to town. Northeastern Junior College is a primary gathering place, especially at the Bank of Colorado Event Center located on campus.
