Boyd Lake State Park

Boyd Lake State Park is a water-sports-focused state park in Loveland, Colorado, set along the Front Range with views of Longs Peak. Primary sources describe a reservoir of nearly 1,700 surface acres when full, plus 360 land acres, providing drinking water for Greeley and irrigation water for farms. The park offers boating, water-skiing, swimming at a sandy swim beach, fishing, camping, picnicking, bicycling, walking, waterfowl hunting and wildlife viewing. It draws roughly 500,000 to 800,000 visitors annually and is described as the third-busiest boating lake in the Colorado Parks and Wildlife system. Amenities include a 148-site campground, a group picnic area at Mariner Point and trails connecting to Loveland's regional trail system.
