Marinas in Colorado
Motor and sailboating, sailboarding, water skiing, jet skiing, canoeing, kayaking – all are immensely popular in Colorado, where the sun shines on average 300 days a year. So it’s only natural that our lakes and reservoirs would have marinas with slip rentals, boat and accessory rentals, lodging opportunities, and other amenities that would make a water-based getaway perfect. Many of Colorado’s beautiful State Parks are centered around lakes and offer extensive aquatic amenities, including visitor centers, camping, yurts, and or cabins.
There are many marinas all around the state, only some of which are State Parks – eastern Colorado, southern Colorado, northern Colorado, western Colorado, and smack dab in the middle of the mountains of Colorado; you’ll find well-equipped facilities for your boat and boating activities.
