has become one of Colorado's finest outdoor recreation and water sports sites. A

can all be enjoyed on the 2,700 surface-acre lake.
The park is also known for its warm-water, with sandy bottom and shore. Jackson
Lake also has 260 campsites and 60 picnic sites for your enjoyment. During the
winter the park offers camping, wildlife observation, photography, ice fishing,
ice skating and hunting.
