Boating is allowed at Trinidad Lake State Park which has a dedicated boat ramp and seasonal docks. As of December 1, the Boat Ramp has been closed and will reopen in the spring. Fishing, water skiing and jet skiing are some of the recreational opportunities available on the lake. ANS Advisory: The program to prevent the spread of Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) in Colorado’s waterways will continue this year. ANS inspections are available by appointment. All boats must be inspected before launch and when coming off the lake. Colorado State Parks encourages all boaters to take a few simple, precautionary steps every time they go to a lake, river or reservoir. Before leaving a lake or other waterway, boaters should: DRAIN the water from the boat, live well and lower unit of the engine; INSPECT all exposed surfaces; REMOVE all plant and animal material; CLEAN the hull of your boat; DRY the boat, fishing gear, and equipment.
