From jet skiing to hiking and hunting to volleyball, Boyd Lake State Park offers activities for everyone. Located in Loveland, it’s one of the premier water-sports locations in Northern Colorado.

The park lies at the foot of Longs Peak and the mountains of the Continental Divide, just west of the Great Plains. The main attraction is its stunning lake, which permits motorboats, as well as water and jet skiing. RVs will find a home at the park year-round, with nearly 150 pull-thru campsites.
