Colorado's climate and natural beauty makes Sylvan Lake State Park an outdoor dreamland. The lake is at the center of the park's activities, with boating and fishing available in the summer, and ice fishing and skating in the winter. The serene White River National Forest in which the lake sits makes a fantastic backdrop for hiking, skiing, and picnicking. For those interested in camping, there are a total of 44 campsites here with views of the lake or nestled in the valley. If you're less interested in "roughing it," consider staying in a cabin or yurt, a round, tent-like building, with more of the comforts of home available. But remember - whatever activities or lodging you choose, for nature-lovers, this park is sure to please.

Sylvan provides serenity in an alpine park perfect for daydreaming. Non-motorized boating and non-electrical camping offer the opportunity for quiet recreation at this gateway to the White River National Forest and the Holy Cross Wilderness. Overnight visitors can camp, stay in a cabin or lounge in a yurt while gazing at majestic mountains piercing the deep blue sky. At Sylvan Lake State Park, visitors leave the fast pace behind. Year-round, Sylvan is a break from the daily grind. It's home away from home. Spring, summer and fall are all about fishing, hiking, nature study, boating (non-motorized or electric trolling motors, only) and picnicking. Winter's blanket of snow provides snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, ice fishing and access to snowmobile trails.
