North Sterling State Park, State park at Sterling, Colorado
The park spans 5,022 acres with a 3,000-acre reservoir surrounded by golden grasslands and northern bluffs in northeastern Colorado's plains.
French fur trappers explored the region in the early 1800s before the North Sterling Irrigation District established the reservoir for agricultural purposes in 1893.
The land holds artifacts from Paleo-Indian cultures and later became home to Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Pawnee tribes who followed buffalo migrations.
The reservoir supports multiple fish species including wiper, walleye, channel catfish, yellow perch, bluegill, crappie, and trout for year-round fishing.
During migration seasons, the park functions as a critical rest stop for waterfowl, eagles, and hawks traversing the northeastern Colorado grasslands.
