Boyd Lake State Park
Sailboats at Boyd Lake 

Boyd Lake State Park is a water-sports haven for northern Colorado.  The lake lies at the western-most edge of the plains at the foot of snow-capped Long's Peak and the mountains of the Continental Divide.
Boyd Lake State Park has something for everyone: boating, fishing, picnicking, swimming, hiking, biking, and hunting.

All types of watercraft: ski boats, fishing boats, jet skis, sailboats, canoes, use Boyd Lake's 1,700 surface-acres of water. Boyd also has a sandy beach and a pavilion for swimmers. Boyd Lake State Park also has a modern campground with 148 paved pull-through sites that can accomodate vehicles up to 40 feet in length.

Pets are allowed on Boyd Lake State Park but must be kept on leash at all times.

Boyd Lake State Park is currently closed to boating. When open, the Main Boat Ramp is a six-lane ramp located at the Marina at the east end of the marina parking lot. There is a two-lane Heron Cove Ramp, located just north of the group picnic area and used to launch small craft (i.e. Jet Skis. The Main Ramp is used to launch larger craft. It is MANDATORY that all water craft be inspected before launch at either ramp. Inspections are performed at the Main Boat Ramp only. Click on link at right for the ANS Inspection Hours.
