Douglas County is the 8th most populous of the 64 counties of the state of Colorado. The county population was 285,465 at US Census 2000. The county seat is Castle Rock. Douglas County is part of the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, Colorado metropolitan area. It is located midway between Colorado's two largest cities, Denver and Colorado Springs. Douglas County has the highest median household income of any Colorado county or statistical equivalent. It is ranked eighth nationally in that category, and has the highest of any county or equivalent not in the northeastern US.
Douglas County is lightly wooded, mostly with ponderosa pine, with broken terrain characterized by mesas, foothills and small streams. Cherry Creek and Plum Creek rise in Douglas County and flow north toward Denver and into the South Platte River.
Whereas Douglas County extends all the way to Denver, the southern end of the county is indiscernible from Teller County. Only 16 miles north of Woodland Park, the popular community of Westcreek, CO deserves special mention with Woodland Park and Teller County.
