Nestled in the shadow of the legendary Spanish Peaks, which tower over the park,
Lathrop State Park's gentle climate, clear air, beautiful campsites, excellent
fishing, water skiing and great views of the nearby mountain ranges lure
Colorado travelers and other visitors to the park for regular visits.
The state's first state park, Lathrop is 1,594 acres of recreational enjoyment.
The park has two lakes, Martin Lake and Horseshoe Lake, which offer a variety of
boating and angling opportunities. A nine-hole golf course at the park is also
popular. Stop by the Lathrop Visitors Center for a look at artists' murals
showcasing the area's rich history and heritage, and access information about
the surrounding area.
Lathrop State Park, 70 County Rd 502, Walsenburg Colorado 81089; 719-738-2376.
