Another excellent (and expensive) CO state park

Lovely weather while I was here very early December 2021. 60s for highs and close to freezing at night. the dry camping loop and loops A B and C are closed for the season. There are very few people here. Only a few other sites are occupied. One day I rode 10 miles on my E bike just on the paved roads around the lake. The next day I rode another eight just on the very smooth and flat concrete sidewalk that also goes all the way around the lake. There are a lot of places that are accessible to wheelchairs. Some sites are very nice, tucked away in the trees, some with a beautiful view of the Spanish peaks. A few sites even get a glimpse of the lake. Some sites are wide open with neighbors that would be right in your face. One night the sunset was totally stunning. I think all sites in loops ABC and D have electricity. There are water Spicket's for everyone's use around the loops. But they are not meant for anyone to hook up a long hose to their RV. When it gets really quiet you can hear Colorado 160 road traffic in the distance. It's quietest in loop D and quite noisy in the dry camping loop.
