State Park - Barr Lake

Nature enthusiasts can enjoy a unique combination
of activities from wildlife watching and educational programs
to hunting and fishing at Barr Lake State Park. A boater and
wildlife-watcher's paradise, Barr Lake is known as an exceptional
wildlife habitat. Bird watchers can spot over 300 species of
birds at the park, which is home to the Colorado Bird Observatory
and an important Colorado wildlife refuge.
The southwest side of the lake, and the marshes along its edge,
provide habitat for numerous species of bird, including great
blue herons, bald eagles and pelicans. A family of eagles even
nests in the park each spring! Visitors can watch the birds
from the comfort of a lakeside gazebo, by boat on the northeast
end of the lake, or on the Eagle Express, Barr Lake's motorized
shuttle trail ride.
In addition to the 330 species of birds that have been identified
in the park, Barr Lake is also home to red foxes and deer. Barr
Lake State Park is ideal for non-motorized activities and motorboats
with 10 horsepower or less. This allows the park to offer a
peaceful, relaxing haven for visitors to enjoy sailing and canoeing
in calm waters. Barr Lake is a day-use park only and does not
offer camping.
Our peaceful lake perimeter trail is great for birding, wildlife
watching, jogging, horseback riding, or biking (thorn proof
tires are a must!). Enjoy fishing and boating on the north side
of Barr lake or join a Park Naturalist for a guided program.
Barr Lake Park is open from 5am - 10pm daily.
