Spinney Mountain State Park

Spinney Mountain State Park offers access to the South Platte River and Spinney Mountain Reservoir for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters. The park features two boat ramps - one on the north end and one on the south end of the reservoir. However, due to low water levels, the ramps are currently only open for hand-launched vessels, with no access for trailered boats.

The reservoir is situated in a scenic mountain setting and can provide good conditions for paddling, sailing, and fishing, though wind gusts can create choppy waves that require caution. Motorized boats are permitted, but boaters should be aware of Colorado boating regulations. The closest towns for supplies and services are Hartsel to the west and Lake George to the east. While the park does not offer camping, it provides excellent day-use opportunities for water recreation enthusiasts.
