Area
Map |
Nestled in the foothills of southern Colorado, bordered
by the historic Santa Fe Trail and scenic Highway of Legends, Trinidad
Lake State Park offers boating, fishing, hiking and modern camping
year round. A mild year-round climate and 800 surface acres of water
ideal for numerous water sports are the lures of Trinidad Lake.
Anglers catch rainbow and brown trout, largemouth bass, channel
catfish, walleye, crappie and bluegill. The lake is popular for
water skiing and windsurfing as well.
Other attractions include self-guided nature hikes where visitors
can choose a short walk near the Visitor Center or venture further
into primitive backcountry areas. Hikers may explore the mountain
branch of the historic Santa Fe Trail in nearby Trinidad. Trinidad
welcomes visitors with its rich history and culture. Turkey, coyote,
and deer call the park home, providing great wildlife watching opportunities.
All this, plus some spectacular scenery, make Trinidad Lake a wonderful
place to play in the great outdoors.
