We are celebrating #KidsToParksDay, are you? Join us for a Junior Ranger hike and work toward earning your badge. We will meet at the Day Use Restroom building above the Lakeview Swim Beach. Don't forget water, hiking shoes, and weather appropriate clothing.

Where else would we spend Highline Lake's 58th birthday but on the trails! Join us on a 4-mile guided hike through the park's history. Not able to attend? Stop in the Visitor Center and grab a map to take a self-guided hike through the park. The guided hike will meet at the Visitor Center.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife will host an introduction to fly fishing clinic just outside the town of Bailey, CO on May 26. Twenty adult beginners (Sixteen years and older) will spend half the day in classroom instruction, followed by hands-on application of these skills at a nearby river and ponds. Students will learn how to select the correct fly for the conditions and time of year, read the water, and improve their casting technique. The classroom sessions of the day will cover fish identification, rules and regulations, aquatic biology, fly selection, knot-tying, and general equipment setup and selection. All fly fishing equipment required for the class will be provided, however, if students have their own equipment that they would like to bring this is also acceptable but not necessary.

Team up. Tackle obstacles. Have fun. Our mission is to inspire and empower kids through exciting, challenging adventure races that emphasize teamwork, sportsmanship, critical thinking, perseverance, and ignite a passion for the outdoors. 

Colorado Parks and Wildlife will welcome the World Wake Association for its wakeboard national championship event August 2-3, 2025 at Highline Lake State Park.
