Big park with good views of the mountains. Big dog park inside the park and many places to hike or ride your bike. You can also ride your boat on the lake, swim or paddle board. Sometimes can be crowded on sunny weekend otherwise not that crowded. Sometimes can see wildlife. If you have a dog I highly recommend going to Chatfield’s dog park.

Very good park for boating, fishing, water sports, kayaking, paddleboarding, camping, hiking and walking. Can get very crowded in the summer season. Nice trails, decent camping selection if you book early, lotsa parking. Has a boat ramp and marina. Nice smaller lakes in the park area as well.

A beautiful place to have a picnic or walk around the lake. I went with my family — mountains on one side and the lake on the other. There’s plenty of parking, and you only pay per car. You can bike or walk around and enjoy the scenery.

Amazing park with many lakes that can be used for paddleboarding, fishing, or swimming. The large main resivoir you can also use powered boats. The resivoir has flooded recently leading to a number of cottonwoods sticking out of the water. They have sense died, giving way to very unique scenery. There is much wildlife to enjoy in the park, and camping is available in multiple lot types.
