Boyd Lake State Park

Boyd Lake State Park is a water-recreation haven in northern Colorado. The lake lies at the westernmost edge of the plains, by the foot of snow-capped Long’s Peak and the mountains of the Continental Divide.

The park attracts visitors who enjoy boating, camping, water skiing, swimming, fishing, paddlesports, picnicking, bicycling, walking, hunting and wildlife viewing. Boyd Lake State Park encompasses 2,082 acres with over 200 species of birds and 1,700 surface-acres of water.

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.
