Sweitzer Lake State Park, Recreational lake reservoir in Delta County, United States.
Sweitzer Lake State Park spans 314 acres with a 137-acre reservoir surrounded by greasewood shrublands, wet meadows, and riparian woodlands.
Morgan Sweitzer proposed the land for dam construction in 1953, leading to the creation of a recreational lake using water from Uncompahgre Water Users Canal.
The park serves as a meeting point for water sports enthusiasts who gather for boating, waterskiing, and swimming activities throughout the warmer months.
The park operates daily from 8 AM to 10 PM, charging 10 dollars for vehicle access and 4 dollars for individual entry passes.
The reservoir attracts numerous waterfowl species, including Great Blue Herons, Clark's Grebes, and Trumpeter Swans throughout different seasons.
