A popular site for recreation, North Sterling State Park promises a piece of the great outdoors.
From any spot in North Sterling Park, visitors are surrounded by views of the high plains and the bluffs reaching over the 3,000-surface acre reservoir. Called a boaters paradise, the reservoir is stocked with warm-water fish, including rainbow trout, walleye, saugeye, wiper, smallmouth bass and many others.
All park visitors must purchase a Colorado State Park pass at a cost of $5 a day or $55 for an annual pass. Colorado residents 64 or older may buy an Aspen Leaf pass for $27. Elks campground, north of the dam, is open year-round. The two south campgrounds are open from May to Labor Day weekend. Call 970-522-3657 for fees.

Prewitt Reservoir

With 900 acres of water, Prewitt Reservoir offers bird-watching, fishing and hunting. Fish include trout, wiper, yellow perch, crappie, largemouth bass, channel catfish, white bass, saugeye and walleye. The entire lake is wakeless but there are no motor restrictions and the lake has a boat ramp.
