Taking its name from the three lakes in the region (Monument Lake, Palmer Lake and Lake Woodmoor), Tri-Lakes includes the incorporated towns and unincorporated communities of Monument, Palmer Lake, Woodmoor, Gleneagle, King's Deer, and Black Forest.[1] The region lies along the Palmer Divide about 40 miles (64 kilometers) south of Denver and 20 miles (32 kilometers) north of downtown Colorado Springs. The Air Force Academy is about 5 miles (8.0 kilometers) to the south, and Interstate 25 goes north and south through the region.[2]
