Chatfield State Park

Its foothill views and network of outdoor areas offer different ways to spend time beside the South Platte River corridor.

Choose a specific entrance and activity using the park’s current map, pass requirements and closure notices. The photograph shows the reservoir during an earlier visit rather than today’s water levels or boating conditions. Camping, boating and other facilities have separate reservations or rules. Review water-quality and seasonal notices before any water activity, and use designated access points throughout the park.
