LAKE PUEBLO STATE PARK
Lake Pueblo, rated a fishing hot spot, provides over 4,600 surface acres of water, 60 miles of shoreline and almost 10,000 acres of land.
Full service marinas and a diversity of campsites welcome guests to stay awhile. Water recreation includes sailing, motor-boating, waterskiing, river tubing and prime fishing. Boaters choose from two full-service marinas and boat ramps.
Land recreation includes hiking, biking, picnicking and diverse nature exploration. Miles of trails make it easy to discover the beauty of the shady Arkansas River below the dam or the wonder of 200-year-old Juniper trees.
Views of the Greenhorn and Wet mountain ranges to the southwest and the magnificent Pikes Peak to the north are a splendid way to end the day.
Located in Pueblo County, Colorado, the park was established in 1975. It covers over 4,600 acres and includes a reservoir created by the Pueblo Dam which was completed in 1973 as part of Fryingpan-Arkansas Project for water management. The area is known for its outdoor recreational activities such as fishing, boating and camping. In addition to these amenities it also offers wildlife viewing opportunities with species like mule deer and birds being common sightings.
