Excellent place! Extremely pleasant camping area. The representatives are useful and pleasant. The camp hosts were excellent. Our site was truly perfect and faultless. There are a lot of bicycle and climbing trails. There is an exceptionally huge ocean side region with a lot of regions to excursion. Mainly, there is by all accounts some wrongdoing in the recreation area. There are various signs posted about keeping things secured, particularly bicycles. Be back soon.

Great bike trails, running, walking, etc. Also features a swimming beach! Certain trails you cannot bike on, but are great for walking or running. There are picnic benches near the lake and lots of places to park throughout.  Entrance fees are included in the colorado state parks pass, or are a separate cost.  Worth it as it is a great bit of nature in the middle of the Denver / Aurora metro. Highly recommend!

We stayed here for 3 nights as part of a 2 week road trip.  We’ve previously  stayed at a Colorado State campground and from our experience they are all very well taken care of and clean.  Our campsite was very spacious and private as our door was pointed towards the exterior of our loop.  The campground is also conveniently located 20-25 min from downtown Denver.  We would definitely return if we are in the area.

Been to the Dog area so far, but love this State Park. Even if you don't have a dog, come here on a low day & you're guaranteed to smile with all the pups off leash about. Our pup Tali had a blast. My watch said it was about 2miles around the loop. They even have a beach area & river your pups can play in on a hot day. Will be back!

Beautiful walking trails, the wetland is superb! During our camping trip, we walking just before dusk and the landscape was such a sight to see! We saw a family of dear and found some cool little paths.  can't believe I've lived in Denver all my life and never knew all of this natural beauty was right here in the heart of Aurora. This park definitely comes highly recommended!

Always enjoy coming here day or night, boating during the summer days fishing at night daily. Has a shooting range, but good place to bring the family or just hang out on your own

A beautiful state park in Denver. Especially beautiful in the fall when the trees are changing. The walking/cycling trails are really relaxing to take, and the beach is nice. The lake is cool as well, and is a good place for paddle-boarding and sailing. I’ve never camped here but the campgrounds look nice, especially for cookout style camping. Forsure a great little spot to try out if you live in Denver or are just visiting

This park is GREAT. Boating, camping, fishing, Bbqs and just a great little place nestled away. I paid $11 for a car to get a day pass and it was an all day thing. Taking photos and just taking it all in. Great place to bring the dogs or/and the kids.

This is an fun and exciting Dog Park, really a lot of free space and even a handicap accessible area adjacent to the creek bed. The dog park is just to the east of the wetlands area near Cottonwood Creek. There was a lot of water in the creek bed, knee to mid-thigh depth. Lot’s of fun with other dogs and a laid back experience today

10/31/21 - it was cold. Nice place, around the city. It has a lot of entrance. Almost all trees leaves are gone. Great place to fish, walk, bike, etc…..mostly during summer even swimming.  Right now it’s quiet, you will mainly bird sounds. Pelicans and seagulls are together in one area.
