State Park - Rifle Gap

Area
Map |
At an elevation of 6,000 feet, Rifle Gap State Park
has something to offer every outdoor enthusiast. The clean, clear
waters of this 350 acre reservoir afford some of the best scuba
diving, boating, swimming, water-skiing and windsurfing in Colorado.
Camping, hiking and picnicking opportunities at this 1,305-acre
park also await the Rifle Gap State Park visitor. Even golfers can
pursue their sport here, teeing off on the 18-hole course that lies
adjacent to the area. The fun doesn't stop in the wintertime, when
ice fishing, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling are available
for the cold-weather buffs. Rifle Gap is close to many ski areas,
only 40 miles from Glenwood's famous hot springs, and home to a
variety of wildlife, including deer and elk.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trout, Walleye and Perch are the primary fish at Rifle Gap. Very
large (12"-16") Perch are not uncommon.
