Float your boat in the lake, bicycle or hike on a trail that provides scenic views of the neighboring foothills and Platte River valley, camp, ride a horse and even fly a model airplane - all at Chatfield State Park, nestled next to the foothills southwest of Denver.​​​​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​It started out as a community dream. This lake based retreat for the Western Slope provides day-use nature, picnic and water recreation.

Visitors come to Sweitzer Lake, near Delta, for action-packed boating and water skiing on busy days and relaxed nature play on mellow days.

Built solely for recreation, Sweitzer Lake fulfills its planned purpose well. Water-ski, swim, picnic, fish, boat, bird watch, or just breathe in the clean air. Sit on the grass, at a picnic site, or on the sandy shore and enjoy the day.

Complete Morgan Sweitzer’s community vision; come play at the park.
