Steamboat Lake State Park, State park in Routt County, Colorado.
The 2,820-acre park contains a 1,100-acre reservoir at 8,000 feet elevation, surrounded by pine forests and mountains with Hahns Peak as a backdrop.
The land served as seasonal hunting grounds for the Ute people before becoming a state park in 1967, with remnants of early settlements like the Quealy Cabin.
The area marks the intersection of ranching heritage and outdoor recreation, reflecting the transformation from traditional livestock farming to modern conservation practices.
The park includes 196 campsites, 25 picnic areas, a full-service marina, and a sandy beach, with daily entrance fees of $10 per vehicle.
The park maintains a population of over 200 bird species and large mammals including moose, black bears, and mountain lions within its diverse ecological zones.
