Things to Do
Many activities here feature the lake: fishing, swimming and paddling. But that’s not all you can do. Set up camp or enjoy a picnic, hike, look for a geocache, take photographs and watch for wildlife. Reserve a group site for your next gathering.
Fishing
Drop a line in Lake Colorado City, a 1,618-acre impoundment of Morgan Creek. Anglers fish primarily for largemouth bass, channel catfish and sunfish.
Water sports
Swim in the lake or explore by boat (no lifeguards on duty). Read through our Water Safety Tips before your visit.
Bring your own kayak or canoe or rent a kayak here (we provide paddles and life vests with rental).
Hiking
Hike lakeside while enjoying views of the water and glimpses of wildlife. More than 300 bird species have been sighted in the park.
