Rocky Mountain Lake Park – Denver

Located just off I-70, the Rocky Mountain Lake Park is a peaceful 1-mile trail and scenic oasis in the busy city of Denver, Colorado. This park is the perfect spot to go for a walk, have a picnic, play tennis, or just check out the gorgeous mountain views.

History

Once serving as a watering hole for part of the Overland Trail, the Rocky Mountain Lake now makes up the majority of this park. In 1906, construction of the park began, and in 1910, it was opened to the public. The Rocky Mountain Lake Park is associated with the Denver Park and Parkway System.

Attractions

When you take a trip to the Rocky Mountain Lake Park, there will likely be others enjoying the paved 1-mile loop trail. Whether you want to walk your dogs or train for a 5K race, the park provides a beautiful backdrop for a little outdoor recreation.

The Rocky Mountain Lake is also a great space for kayaking and fishing, though you should be prepared to bring all your own equipment. Other amenities at this park include tennis courts, restrooms, and a playground.

No matter what you have planned, Rocky Mountain Lake Park is the perfect place to escape the city side of Denver and enjoy an afternoon in nature.
