Eleven MileState Park

Eleven Mile State Park is in South Park – an expansive high-altitude grassland region of central Colorado. The park is bordered on two

sides by the Pike National Forest. The surrounding mountains, including Pikes Peak, the Tarryall Range and the snowy peaks of the Continental Divide, complement Eleven Mile’s own scenic reservoir, short grasses and rocky outcroppings.This remarkable setting is home to tremendous recreational opportunities. Eleven Mile’s waters have surrendered some of the largest fish ever taken in Colorado. The reservoir’s boaters, particularly sailors, are challenged by the tricky winds and fast-rising storms that occasionally sweep the area.Eleven Mile’s elevation of 8,600 feet makes for a wide range of temperatures in any season, so park visitors should dress accordingly. Visitors should also be prepared to protect themselves against sunburn at this altitude.Colorado Parks and Wildlife manages Eleven Mile’s 3,400 surface-acre reservoir and 4,000 land acres under a lease from the Denver Water Board. The reservoir has been an important water storage facility for the city of Denver since the dam was completed in 1932.

Passes & PermitsAll vehicles entering the park are required to display a current Colorado State Parks Pass. A Daily Pass is valid for the day purchased until noon the following day. A Yearly Pass is valid at any state park for 12 months from date of purchase. For yearly passholders with an additional vehicle, a multiple pass is available for a reduced fee.
