Lake Pueblo State Park in Pueblo centers on a reservoir of about 4,600 surface acres, with roughly 60 miles of shoreline. The lake sits on the edge of the plains with views of the Wet Mountains and Pikes Peak in the distance. The water supports boating, fishing, swimming and other water sports, while trails wind along the shoreline and through the surrounding hills. Campgrounds and picnic areas make it easy to spend a whole weekend here, and the warm, sunny climate extends the season. A daily parks pass costs $10 per vehicle, and camping runs $18 to $36 per night. Its size makes it easy to find quiet spots even on busy days.
