oyd Lake State Park is a water-sports haven for
northern Colorado. The park attracts visitors
who enjoy boating, water-skiing, swimming,
fishing, windsurfing, bicycling, walking, hunting
and wildlife viewing. The park features camping and
picnicking. The lake lies along the Front Range with
impressive views of Long’s Peak. Boyd Lake covers
nearly 1,700 surface-acres when full. The reservoir
provides drinking water for the city of Greeley and
irrigation water for Colorado farms.

Boyd Lake is a popular spot with shoreline and boat
anglers for largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, white
bass, catfish, crappie, perch, rainbow trout and walleye.
Ice fishing is a favorite winter pastime. Underwater
ridges and inlet areas can produce great fishing. A
Colorado fishing license is required, and Colorado
fishing regulations apply.
Walking and Bicycling
Walking and biking can be enjoyed along the paved and
grassy trails that meander along beaches, under cool
cottonwood trees and the water’s edge.Trails join with
the city of Loveland’s regional trail system at the south
and north ends of the park. Some trails are plowed in the
winter for year-round use.
Wildlife Viewing
Boyd Lake affords great opportunities to observe a
variety of wildlife, especially during spring and fall bird
migrations.
Waterfowl Hunting
Waterfowl hunting is allowed at Boyd Lake in the
designated “Red Zones”. Open dates for red zones may
be more restricted than regular waterfowl seasons.
Contact park office or see website for additional
information.
Camping
Boyd Lake offers 148 paved, pull-through camp sites.
The sites are located on a grassy knoll dotted with trees
near the lake. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring.
All sites have 20, 30 and 50 amp electric pedestals. Three
restrooms with pay showers, playground equipment and
horseshoe pits are located in the campground. Campers
must have both a camping permit and a park pass for
their vehicle. Please camp only in designated sites and
display the campground permit in the marker at each
campsite. A holding tank dump station is provided for
registered campers. It is illegal to dump wastewater,
including dishwater, anywhere except the dump station.

Picnicking
Boyd Lake State Park features sixty seven first class
picnic sites scattered throughout the park. These sites
are available on a “first-come first-served” basis. The
group picnic area (GPA) may be rented for groups of up
to 200, and is available by reservation. The GPA pavilion
sits atop a small ridge overlooking the lake and includes
a private parking lot, tables, fire grills, electrical outlets,
a fireplace and a prep sink. A volleyball court, horseshoe
pits and playground are located next to the covered
facility. Much of the surrounding area is lawn and a
trail leads to the lake shore where boats can be beached
during your picnic. You can get more information and
