Best places: Lakes in Central City, United States

Water recreation area popular for trout fishing, picnicking & boating, plus a short hiking trail.

Fishing & boating in a city lake encircled by a public park with a trail for cycling & walking.

👍👍 Most beautiful lake in the area. There’s also a red rock river at the far side of the lake

👍👍 Such a beautiful loop to walk, run, rollerblade or skateboard. It’s paved all the way around, there are always lots of people out taking advantage of the wonderful weather. Plus you can’t beat the view! The mountains are on one side and the city is on the other.

👍 Really don't have anything bad to say about it. It's a good parking area to enjoy a hike up the mountain. The lake is very pretty, probably overshot in a photographic sense. Beware the road in front of the lake, it is very rough although it is paved. Nothing 99.9% of cars shouldn't be able to handle...

👍 It is a nice lake with a man made beach. Great for paddle boarding with friends like we did. $10 admission fee is reasonable. The parking lots for Soda Creek were full by 12 though. The only negative thing I can say about the place is the mosquitoes. OMG, there were a lot. So along with your su...

Stocked with trout & salmon, the state's third-largest body of water offers boat launches & beaches.

👍👍 Did the trail around the lake for the first time last weekend. It is a wonderful place to hike. The trail is not too difficult except there was a few hundred feet of the trail that had been submerged under water and despite multiple people's attempts to create make shift bridges with logs it was qui...

👍👍 Great for paddle boarding, kayaking, picnicking or hanging out on the beach.

Lakelike reservoir & regional recreation spot featuring a beach for swimming & boat ramps.

😠 Workers watched us blowing up our kayak. When we were done and about to launch, they then came back and asked us if we had the permit for our kayak, which we did not. Day ruined. It’s a scam for them to make you pay for their kayaks.

👍👍 Love my early morning walks around the lake! The view of the mountains is incredible and if you are lucky you may even get a glimpse of a majestic bald eagle! Great for walking by yourself, with friends or with your dog! The trail can get muddy on days where we have had rain or snow so being good sh...

👍👍 Good lake to walk along. During the summer the city hosts several events around the lake. They also have several sculptures along the path that you can vote on in the rec center across the street.

👍👍 This is one of my favorite places to shoot a sunset along the front range. The beauty of the sun setting over the rocky mountains is only rivaled by the reflections that are capturing the magic as the sun goes down over the horizon. The lake shore is a great place to explore and find plenty of fis...

👍👍 A great place to go for a walk or run! (If you got a doggo great place to bring them!) Very pretty, and chill.

🫤 Nice sized body of water but fishing here is subpar. I've been here atleast half dozen times so not unfairly judging. It costs $5 to enter, closes at 7 also doesn't open til 7 so kinda kills best fishing hours. Gets very windy at times and has absolutely no shade. It does have a nice path around it...

😐 Ok first off, if your not going to fish than don't go. There isn't really much to do other than fish and the people here are just a tiny bit off. As far as the fishing goes it is quite good according to everyone I talked to and some people were catching fish, I had no luck however. I recommend for t...

👍👍 I wish I didnt catch fish everytime, then I can go experience another lake. But everytime I'm walking away with great brookies. Can't stop coming back

👍👍 I need it to walk, I found this amazing view in the edge of LAKEWOOD ! Twilight hour peace and quiet while watching the wildlife enjoying their home! Turn around and you’ll see downtown skyline, an unobstructed view of East Denver!
