Barr Lake State Park

Barr Lake is one of 43 Colorado State Parks, located just 30 minutes east of Denver. With over 2700 acres of trails, water, and wide-open skies- including a designated wildlife refuge on the lake's southern half- this park is made for nature lovers, families, bird nerds, and anyone who needs a breath of fresh air. We offer year-round programs, guided hikes, and hands-on learning for all ages. Whether you're watching for bald eagles, paddling the lake, or taking a walk at sunset, Barr Lake offers something for everyone.

Some of our feature annual community events include:

  • Bald Eagle Festival - February
  • Archery Day - May
