fishing fun stuff

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 Rocky Mountain 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 birds, including great blue herons, bald eagles and pelicans. A pair of eagles nest in the park each spring. Visitors can watch more than 300 different species of birds from the comfort of a lakeside gazebo, from boat (10 horsepower or less) on the northeast end of the lake, or on the Eagle Express, Barr Lake's motorized shuttle trail ride.

Barr Lake is a day-use park only and does not offer camping.

Please call the number below directly for updated information before you make your online reservation. Please note that a daily fee or annual parks pass is required for entry into the park.
