At an elevation of 8,000 feet, Vega State Park’s high-mountain lake sits in a beautiful montane meadow on the northeast edge of Grand Mesa National Forest in Western Colorado.
Vega is great year round for birding,
hiking among the changing aspen,
ice fishing and
cross-country skiing.
Snowmobilers and off-highway vehicle riders can access hundreds of miles of trails in
Grand Mesa National Forest from Vega Early Settlers campground, cabins or OHV lot.
The park’s 109 campsites in four
campgrounds surround the lake. The campsites range from pull-through sites with electric hookups to 10 walk-in tent sites in the Pioneer Campground. All the sites have fire pits, picnic tables and pleasant views. Vega’s five cozy
cabins are available year round and accommodate up to six people. Escape the crowds and come to Vega mid-week.
Summer reservations for the
Meadows Group Picnic Area are picking up, so call today to reserve this beautiful location for a wedding, family reunion, company picnic, memorial or other group events.
Shopping is always fun at Vega State Park. Find those unique gifts, books and comfortable clothing at the Visitor's Center gift shop.

Vega is one of the few Colorado State Parks with OHV and snowmobile access to USFS Grand Mesa National Forest lands directly from the park. Plan to purchase new or renew registrations for boats, snowmobiles and OHV at the Visitor Center. Campers in Early Settlers CG, Pioneer CG and Cabins can leave these sites and drive their OHV directly to the USFS Park Creek (#262) Road. Corrals are available at Vega for $10 a night per horse and can be reserved by calling (970) 487-3407. For more information to trails on the USFS-Grand Mesa
