Evergreen Lake Marshlands Colorado

Evergreen Lake Park – Evergreen

FacebookTwitter

Come and experience the 55 acre Evergreen Lake Park, the recreational jewel of Evergreen. Owned by the City and County of Denver and managed by the Evergreen Park and Recreation District, this location started out as a plan to make a dam and lake for recreation.

It was headed by Charles Vail in partnership with the area’s municipal water staff in 1914, with the intention to make Bear Creek Canyon:

one of the outstanding tourist resorts in the Front Range” within a mile of the Troutdale Hotel.

Home to the Evergreen Lakehouse, this is the perfect spot for q quick escape into nature. You can host special events like weddings and outings, or something as simple as a meeting at the park.

Activities

Open year round, enjoy the different activities that can be experienced on the lake; from boating to ice skating (depending on the season). The house overlooks the lake where there’s an abundance of trout and is open for fishing to anyone with a state fishing license.

Boating – Stand up paddleboarding and other wakeless boating is allowed. From early May to mid September, the Lake House rents canoes, paddle boats, kayaks, sailboats and fishing boats.

Fishing – Open year round with fishing license, great trout fishing. In winter the lake usually freezes over.

Hiking – Be one with nature as you walk through their 1.3 mile long hiking trail encircling the reservoir. The Evergreen Lake Trail is not ADA compliant.

Ice Fishing – Once the lake freezes over ice fishing becomes the preferred method of catching trout.

Ice Skating – From around mid December through early March the lake is open for ice skating. Hockey and broomball leagues also take place.

Picnicking – Picnic tables are also available to use and cooking is permitted (only gas or electric grills are allowed).

The park and lake area are subject to nature’s ever changing moods so visitors are advised to enter at their own risk and to be mindful of the park rules and regulations, which are put in place for everyone’s safety.
