This park also has big soccer fields and a separate fenced in dog play area in far right corner. The best part for me is that it connects to the Poudre river trail. Being a cycling enthusiast, I found that this park allows easy access to this great trail. The pavilion also has full restrooms with running water and drinking fountains.

My wife booked Adam for a 1/2 day of fly fishing for a birthday surprise for me. Adam was top notch…read moreand I don't think she could have made a better choice! She was pretty clueless in the whole fly fishing guide experience but Adam was very quick to put her at ease with all the arrangements. Adam arrived early with a big smile on his face and off we went. We fished the tail water of the Big Thompson and the best part of it all was that we caught fish! It was a great day and I know Adam went out of his way to make sure I had an awesome time. One thing I have to mention is that Adam even went out of his way and picked me up from our rental cabin so my wife wouldn't be without a car while we were out fishing...Who does that??? Thanks Adam for the memories of the day.

The first time following all of the spring rains mid June I…read morewas impressed by how much the landscape resembled part of Oregon I traveled through on a road trip (Lowell) This last time over Labor Day weekend however, with the water levels lower by a hundred feet, for a moment it occurred to me they decided to put a more traditional "beach" area there. The water had been up to the rocks near the parking area at the South Bay swim area. In the late summer, it had more of the expected high desert vibe. It's nice that they have a no-wake area for paddle boarders and swimmers. Although it is a reservoir, the ugly wall is not a prominent visual feature like ie: Cherry Creek reservoir. I enjoy how this one is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains. Next time, I am absolutely bringing a paddle board. This time however, I was amused and inspired by one man who was not immediately deterred by the fact that he fell off his again and again. When he finally gave up, he had the same problem with his inner tube. The bathrooms/showers were not disgusting but I wasn't so sure how sanitary those children's diapers were in the water. .

We saw rabbits, squirrels, a flick of pelicans and more than a handful of herons. There are benches, trash cans and doggie pick up bags in multiple places.

we rented a boat for my daughters 16th birthday. That was what she was wanting to do this year for…read moresweet 16! Things to know. 1. if in summer, even on weekdays you will need to call and make your reservations in advance. Most likely they will not have boats available if you just do a drop in. You are able to call and reserve 14 days in advance. 2. the amounts of people allowed in the boats are different than what is on their website. it is actually less now for some reason???? not sure what that is. but hopefully they update it to be accurate at some point soon. 3. The prices listed on the website is for the boat only. It does not include gas. 4. They had half day or all day rentals available. 5. If you want to pull a tube behind, the tubes they sell in the marina span between $150-$260!!! YIKES. You will also need a tow rope and y line and that will add another $70. I called all over to see if there was a place that would rent these items and the answer is no :( We used one of our river tubes from home and well it was not the BEST but the girls made the most of it. 6. when you get there you go down around back of the marina and go to the building with the blue roof to check in at. 7. you can bring food and beverages on the boats, but if you make too much of a mess you will get charged a cleaning fee. 8. they will hold your drivers license and credit card while you are out on the boat. 9. They do give a you a boat talk to tell you how to make the boat run. The fellas down at the dock where very friendly. They were helpful and really made everyone feel comfortable. They helped us figure out how to tie our tube on even though it was not quite what they are used to. They also hooked up our y hook up and towline. 10. After you done, you will want to go up to the marina to pay. They take your stuff up there. That was not totally clear and i was hanging around down at the dock. You can paddleboard and kayak down below the marina if you want. You are not supposed to swim in the lake except at the swim beach.

Great folks always helpful. Nice to have a place to keep your boat that the CLM watch over for you.read more

The boat was beautiful, clean and in great condition. It had great features like a grill onboard and a water slide that really rounded out the experience.

He also was so helpful in organizing details beforehand (meeting location, what we had to bring, etc.) The cost was incredibly reasonable per person, and our group is already talking about our trip next summer. I've rented from other outlets on Horsetooth before, and this experience was SO MUCH BETTER. Thank you so much Brett!!!!
