Jackson Lake State Park, State park with reservoir in Morgan County, Colorado, US.
Jackson Lake State Park spans 4,600 acres containing a large reservoir, sandy beaches, and 3.4 miles of trails for outdoor recreation.
The South Platte Land, Reservoir and Irrigation Company constructed Jackson Reservoir in 1901, naming it after pioneer Leonard A. Jackson.
Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapahoe Native American tribes inhabited this region before European exploration began in the eighteenth century.

In 2020, Jackson Lake State Park became the first Colorado state park to receive International Dark Skies certification for its exceptional stargazing conditions.
