WATER SPORTS |
|
| San Luis Lake is a popular place
for water sports in the San Luis Valley. Such
water sport activities include water-skiing,
motor boating, sailing, windsurfing and other fun
water games. All Colorado boating statutes and
regulations are enforced by the park rangers.
Please contact the park office for required
safety equipment information. All boats must
remain south of the wildlife area buoy line at
the north end of the lake. No boats are allowed
in the buoyed area, to protect valuable waterfowl
nesting habitat. The lake shoreline is accessible to many watercraft because of the shallow center and gradual sloping sides. A wide boat ramp and calm water make it easy for visitors to load and unload their boats. |
| Summer and winter fishing is permitted on the lake, however, be very cautious of thin ice when ice fishing. The rainbow trout is a good catch all year round. Check signs at the boat ramp or contact a park ranger or the Colorado Division of Wildlife for information on special restrictions, regulations and hunting seasons. |
| All visitors are required to
have a current Colorado State Parks' Pass on
their car windshield. A daily pass
is valid from the day purchased until noon the
next day. An annual pass
is valid at any Colorado State Park for the rest
of the calendar year. Additional vehicles can
receive a pass for a reduced fee at the park
entrance and self-service dispensers. Colorado residents 62 years or older can obtain an annual Aspen Leaf Pass at a discounted rate. With an Aspen Leaf Pass, residents visitors are allowed admission to all Colorado State Parks every day, as well as free camping on weekdays. Colorado Disabled Veterans with a Disabled Veteran license plate are admitted free without a pass. For more information call 719-378-2020 |
