From the wide expanse of the Great Plains to the snow-capped peaks of the Rocky Mountains, this is frontier country. Whether it's exploring old coal camp ruins and dinosaur trackways or fishing or water-skiing at a large reservoir park, there's fun for everyone.
Trout fishing is excellent, and wildlife is abundant.
In the winter, the lake is closed to fishing to provide a welcome stopover for migrating waterfowl. This secluded park is nestled in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains along a meandering stream where visitors can fish for rainbow and brown trout, or simply sit back and enjoy the scenery. This undeveloped area is accessible by foot, horseback or four-wheel drive vehicle. The small scenic lake is stocked with trout, and boating is limited to electric motors. Visitors should bring their own water.
