Bonny Lake State Park is a recreational oasis on Colorado’s eastern plains, just a few miles from the Kansas border.


Due to on-going drought conditions, Bonny Lake State Park has approximately 800-surface acres. (When full our reservoir contains 1,900 surface acres.) Currently, the outlook for the 2009 season is somewhat promising for being able to launch small to medium sized motorized vessels but is not promising to have any good swimbeach areas. Hand-launch vessels are allowed, just beware it is a distance to the water's edge which could be muddy. For current conditions at the park, one can go to Bonny Lake's Conditions Page.
 
The reservoir is known for excellent fishing for walleye, channel catfish, and a variety of bass.
 
Hunters come to Bonny Lake for deer (draw permit only), turkey (draw permit only), waterfowl, dove, pheasant, quail, rabbit and squirrel. Hunting and fishing licenses, as well as off-highway vehicle, boat and snowmobile registrations are available at the park. Located in the South Republican River valley with thousands of trees, Bonny Lake State Park offers a shady retreat from the grasslands of the high plains. Camping is available year-round and Bonny is the perfect destination for that first and last trip of the year. The park also has excellent wildlife and bird watching.
