Location: |
Morrison, CO in Bear Creek Lake Park. Entrance is just east of C-470 on Morrison Road. Follow signs to the "Boat Rentals". |
|
Launch Site: |
Anywhere around the boat rental building. Grassy rigging area. Shore line varies from sand to mud to rock. |
|
Lake Size: |
80 Acres |
|
Best Wind Direction: |
NW, S, SE (N and SW are particularly bad) |
|
General: |
The morning NW thermals are famous. Great ambience (lots of shade and a great view of Red Rocks Amphitheater). No power boats allowed. Winds tend to be gusty. Close proximity of buildings and trees on N shore and the hogback on SW side really screw up the winds. This place is infamous for being able to do an out and back on the same tack. |
|
Admission: |
$5 per car. Season passes available. Colorado SP passes not good here. |
|
Camping: |
Available in the park, but is about two miles from the lake. |
