Stagecoach State Park
A reservoir-based state park about 25 km south of town, offering boating and trout fishing, plus camping. It is quieter than Steamboat Lake.
Stagecoach State Park sits on the upper Yampa River, about 25 km south of town, built around Stagecoach Reservoir. The open lake is good for boating, sailing, and fishing for trout and northern pike. The shoreline has campgrounds and a loop trail, and the reservoir also offers ice fishing in winter. The stretch of water below the reservoir, known as Gold Medal Water, is a favorite of fly-fishing enthusiasts. Admission is covered by a state park vehicle day pass, making it a good half-day outing for families who are driving.
