Highlights

▶ Gold Medal Trout and Trophy Pike fishery at 9,700 ft in wide-open South Park — most fishing-focused state park in Colorado
▶ Much quieter than Eleven Mile SP despite sharing the same Gold Medal fishery
▶ High-altitude South Park basin scenery; Antero Reservoir adjacent (day-use only)

Planning Notes

Primitive camping at reservoir; paved access. Extreme South Park wind — secure everything. Day-use season extends Oct–May (camping closes). Hartsel has very basic supplies.
