Eleven Mile
State Park
This remarkable setting is home to tremendous
recreational opportunities. Eleven Mile’s waters have
surrendered some of the largest fish ever taken in
Colorado. The reservoir’s boaters, particularly sailors,
are challenged by the tricky winds and fast-rising storms
that occasionally sweep the area.

Park Office/Camper Services
Eleven Mile’s elevation of 8,600 feet makes for a wide
range of temperatures in any season, so park visitors
should dress accordingly. Visitors should also be
prepared to protect themselves against sunburn at this
altitude.
The Park Office is located in the camper services
building near Rocky Ridge Campground on Park
County Road 92. Showers, flush toilets and laundry
facilities are available at the camper services building
May-September.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife manages Eleven Mile’s
3,400 surface-acre reservoir and 4,000 land acres under
a lease from the Denver Water Board. The reservoir has
been an important water storage facility for the city of
Denver since the dam was completed in 1932.
Campsites may be reserved in advance by calling
1-800-244-5613 or reserve online at
