Lake Pueblo State Park

Lake Pueblo State Park is a protected recreation area centered on a large water reservoir in Colorado, encompassing approximately 4,500 acres bordered by mountain ranges. The park offers boat launch areas, fishing spots, and hiking trails distributed across different sections of its shoreline.

The park was established in 1975 following completion of Pueblo Dam and its reservoir, opening a new chapter for recreation in Colorado. The creation of this protected area made both the natural landscape and water resources available for public use.

The park serves as a gathering place where fishing tournaments and water sports competitions draw local communities together throughout the year. These events reflect how people in the region value time spent on the water.

The park has multiple camping areas with full facilities, boat launch points, and parking areas at different access points. Plan your visit with the season in mind, as the best conditions for fishing and swimming typically occur during warmer months.

The water and shoreline areas are divided into designated zones to support different activities without motorboats and paddlers interfering with each other. This thoughtful separation allows various visitors to enjoy their preferred activities side by side without conflict.
