Eleven Mile State Park, State park with reservoir in Lake George, Colorado, US
The 7,662-acre park surrounds Eleven Mile Canyon Reservoir, offering rocky shorelines and mountain vistas against the Colorado landscape.
The Eleven Mile Canyon Dam, completed in 1932, created what was then Colorado's largest artificial water body to supply Denver with drinking water.
Archaeological surveys reveal human presence dating back 12,000 years, with evidence of Folsom, Plano, Archaic, and Woodland cultures in the area.
The park features multiple campgrounds, boat ramps, and five miles of trails, with daily entrance fees of $10 per vehicle or $4 per individual.
The reservoir waters cover former ranch lands and settlements from the 1800s, with contemporary campgrounds named after previous property owners.
