|
Vega State Park is a beautiful, high-mountain lake that sits in a glorious
alpine meadow on the west edge of Grand Mesa National Forest. Warm weather
visitors are embraced by unexpected sub-alpine beauty, mild temperatures and
blue Colorado skies characteristic of the park's 8,000 feet altitude.
Along with several beautiful campgrounds in the park, the lake offers great
boating, water-skiing and fishing. Excellent ice fishing and snowmobiling have
made Vega State Park popular with both winter and summer crowds. Visitors may
access trails atop Grand Mesa for hiking, trail biking and four-wheeling in the
summer, and cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter.
Vega State Park, Box 186, Collbran Colorado 81624; 970-487-3407.
