Nestled in the foothills of southern Colorado, bordered by the historic Santa
Fe Trail and scenic Highway of Legends, Trinidad Lake State Park offers boating,
fishing, hiking and modern camping year round. A mild year-round climate and 800
surface acres of water ideal for numerous water sports are the lures of Trinidad
Lake. Anglers catch rainbow and brown trout, largemouth bass, channel catfish,
walleye, crappie and bluegill. The lake is popular for water skiing and windsurfing
as well.
Other attractions include self-guided nature hikes where visitors
can choose a short walk near the Visitor Center or venture further into primitive
backcountry areas. Hikers may explore the mountain branch of the historic Santa
Fe Trail in nearby Trinidad. Trinidad welcomes visitors with its rich history
and culture. Turkey, coyote, and deer call the park home, providing great wildlife
watching opportunities. All this, plus some spectacular scenery, make Trinidad
Lake a wonderful place to play in the great outdoors.
