Boyd Lake State Park

Boyd Lake State Park is a water-sports haven for northern Colorado. The lake lies at the western-most edge of the plains at the foot of snow-capped Long’s Peak and the mountains of the Continental Divide.

Boyd Lake State Park has something for everyone: boating, fishing, camping, picnicking, swimming, hiking, biking, and hunting.

All types of watercraft: ski boats, fishing boats, jet skis, sailboats, canoes, use Boyd Lake’s 1,700 surface-acres of water. Boyd Lake also has a sandy beach and a pavilion for swimmers. Boyd Lake State Park also has a modern campground with 140 paved pull-through sites that can accommodate vehicles up to 40 feet in length.

Pets are allowed on Boyd Lake State Park but must be kept on a 6-foot leash at all times.

We sell Boat, Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) & Snowmobile registrations, hunting and fishing licenses, as well as Colorado State Park Passes. We do not make camping reservations at the office.

To register a boat, OHV, or snowmobile for the first time, you will need to provide some proof of ownership (Bill of Sale, out of state titles signed to the new owner, etc.) which should include:

• Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

If you do not have this information on your ownership paperwork, you will need to bring the boat, OHV, or snowmobile in for an inspection by a Ranger.
