State Park - Barr Lake
Back to State Parks
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 Colorado 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 bird, including
great blue herons, bald eagles and pelicans. A family of eagles
even nests in the park each spring! Visitors can watch the birds
from the comfort of a lakeside gazebo, by boat on the northeast
end of the lake, or on the Eagle Express, Barr Lake's motorized
shuttle trail ride.
In addition to the 330 species of birds that have been identified
in the park, Barr Lake is also home to red foxes and deer.
Barr Lake State Park is ideal for non-motorized activities
and motorboats with 10 horsepower or less. This allows the
park to offer a peaceful, relaxing haven for visitors to enjoy
sailing and canoeing in calm waters. Barr Lake is a day-use
park only and does not offer camping.
Our peaceful lake perimeter trail is great for birding, wildlife
watching, jogging, horseback riding, or biking (thorn proof
tires are a must!). Enjoy fishing and boating on the
north side of Barr lake or join a Park Naturalist for a guided
program. Barr Lake Park is open from 5am - 10pm daily.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Directions - Take I-76 northeast from Denver, exit on
Bromley Lane. Go east to Picadilly Road, then south to the park
entrance.
