Colorado
State Park - Barr Lake
Back to Main
Area Map |
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.

Directions - Take I-76 northeast from Denver, exit on Bromley Lane. Go east
to Picadilly Road, then south to the park entrance.
