Lake Pueblo State Park |

|
Lake Pueblo State Park is one of the prime recreation destinations in Colorado,
with a 4,646 surface acre reservoir and 400 campsites. Whether you want to boat,
water-ski, sail, swim, fish, camp, hike, or just relax, Lake Pueblo has
something for everyone. The park offers two full-service marinas, two boat
ramps, prime fishing waters, camping with or without electrical hook-ups, a swim
beach with a five-story water-slide, hundreds of picnic tables, and a Visitor's
Center with a gift shop.
Set against a background of the Greenhorn and Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges
to the south and west and the magnificent Pikes Peak to the north, Lake Pueblo
is an area of great contrasts. The miles of hiking and biking trails make it
easy to discover the beauty of the shady Arkansas River below the dam or the
splendor of hundred-year-old pinon juniper trees that over-look the eleven mile
long reservoir.
Lake Pueblo State Park, 640 Pueblo Reservoir Road, Pueblo Colorado 81005;
719-561-9320.
