Larimer County Department of Natural Resources

Went to a demolition derby here was set up pretty good. There was also a fair not very many food choices and they were extremely expensive. Other than that, the atmosphere was great parking was poor, but you can catch a shuttle that takes you over there so you don’t gotta deal with the traffic once you leave.

We hiked in pinewood. The day was cool, husband took out the kayak. No motor boats or swimming allowed. Maybe Total of 8 kayaks were out. We went around 10:00am. By 1:00pm dark cloud's came and were lingering. I recommend bringing a water bottle and sunscreen and some insect repellent. The biting flys were bitting. We seen some people fishing, some fish were caught, in all honesty they should have put them back as they were smaller the the forearm, but that is only my opinion. It is cooler up there than in town. Very pretty views. People appear respectful. I was happy to see now litter on the trails. They do have camping spots, spots for campers and tents. The camping spots are close to one another. There is a camp host at the lake. You can purchase passes at the kiosk, near Carter Lake and or from the administration building near Carter Lake turn off.

Very helpful staff and have a great camping and boating system worked out.

Great little place with lots of information about the local area. Great place to stop on a road rally through the area. Nice clean restrooms. They have brochures about the park and sell campground passes.

The area around Carter Lake is nice. Eagle campground is not. The roads around the campsites are horrible. Torn up roads from rain, big holes in the road can tear up your suspension. The county needs to fix them asap. Also, the pit toilets are too far apart. The only building with showers will cost you $2.00 each.
