Steamboat Lake State Park

One of the true jewels of Colorado, Steamboat Lake State Park has something special for everyone. Whatever your preference, well-deserved relaxation and recreation awaits you.

Hahn’s Peak frames the breathtaking scenery of this premier park offering family fishing, camping, picnicking, trail and boating recreational opportunities. A full-service Marina and swim beach provide amenities for active water play.

Winter comes alive with snowmobiling, ice fishing, and peaceful cross-country skiing or snow-shoeing in a valley surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Ten cabins down by the Marina welcome adventurers for a cozy night.

Our lake opens in May depending on ice conditions. The lake closes to boating on or before Nov 1st depending on the weather.

Boat rentals are available at the Steamboat Lake Marina.
