Once known primarily for the hunting around its banks, Jackson Lake State Park has become one of Colorado's finest outdoor recreation and water sports sites. A wide variety of activities such as boating, waterskiing, fishing and swimming can all be enjoyed on the 2,700 surface-acre lake. The park is also known for its warm-water, with sandy bottom and shore. Jackson Lake also has 260 campsites and 60 picnic sites for your enjoyment. During the winter the park offers camping, wildlife observation, photography, ice fishing, ice skating and hunting.
Jackson Lake is stocked with warm-water fish, such as walleye, saugeye, catfish, perch, crappie and wipers. Trout are stocked in the spring and fall. The lake has become a popular spot for anglers. The best time for fishing is in the early spring and fall. Fishing is restricted during waterfowl hunting season and is prohibited from the swim beaches year-round
