Sweitzer Lake State Park

Sweitzer Lake State Park offers a convenient boat ramp for launching kayaks, canoes, and small powerboats onto the 137-acre reservoir. The ramp is located at the west end of the lake, near the dam. Paddlers and boaters can enjoy a relaxing day on the calm, protected waters of Sweitzer Lake.

The lake is fed by irrigation water and surrounded by grassy shorelines, perfect for picnicking or taking in the views. While overnight camping is no longer permitted, the park offers ample day-use amenities including a swim beach and picnic sites. For those looking to extend their adventure, the Gunnison Gorge Wilderness and Chukar Trail trailhead are located nearby, providing access to beautiful backcountry areas.

Whether you're an experienced boater or new to paddling, Sweitzer Lake State Park provides a safe and accessible launch point to enjoy time on the water. Be sure to check for any current regulations or mandatory boat inspections before your visit.
