Water Activities

Boating
The best way to have fun on your boat is the safe way, check out boating safety and regulations (see Boating page).

Fishing
Fishing good to fair for many species.  See Cherry Creek State Park conditions for current report. For current fishing conditions  and stocking updates see the Colorado Division of Wildlife.  Ice fishing when conditions allowed.

Jet Skiing 
Jet skis allowed.  Observe all regulations and no-wake areas.

Sailboarding
Sailboarding is allowed.  Lake Loop is a good launching point. 

Swimming
Open seasonally in the summer, the sandy beach with a roped-off swimming area is a great place for water play.  There is a bathhouse with restrooms located at the beach for convenience. Colorado State Park swim beaches do not have lifeguards on duty. Swim at your own risk.  Children must be supervised by adults at all times.  Please don’t take glass, charcoal grills and pets on the beach. And please keep the beach clean by "packing out what you pack in."

Always shower after swimming to help avoid the possibility of "Swimmer's Itch".  For more information visit Center for Disease Control.
