Campground At woodland Park is a brilliant local campground, and close by you'll hit upon a wooded area called Manitou Experimental

| | Forest. Get dripping wet paddling on South Platte River, and going for a hike on the Rule Creek Trail is always a glorious adventure.
This lake is so wonderful. There are wonderful places to look at along the Rule Ridge Trail, and Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument is a pleasant place nearby. At Manitou Park Lake during the days of summer highs are in the 80's. When the night sets in temperatures plunge down into the 40's. The wintertime comes with | |

highs in the 40's, and through the dark hours in the winter at Manitou Park Lake temperatures fall to the 0's. Shining Mountain Golf Club is a great golf course nearby; J O Hill Reservoir is a nearby lake that you could explore.
And if that's not sufficient, there's plenty more to do near Manitou Park Lake. This lake is so wonderful. Hotel Gulch is a good spot to explore close by, and don't leave Manitou Park Lake without first going for a hike along the
Missouri Gulch Trail. This lake is located in the wonderful Front Range.
Float down the rapids of South Platte River in a kayak, and dry warm beds await you at The Cliff House Hotel at Pikes Peak. Manitou Park Lake is pretty waterless
mostly; most of the rain falls all through July; the driest month of the year is January. If only every place had this much outdoors cool things, what a great globe it would be. If you came for an overnight stay Diamond Campgrounds is a great site to camp; since you're here, you could also go to pretty Ute Lake.

North Catamount Reservoir
| For a nice hike/mountain bike ride, this lake has a complete loop around it. About half of it is single track that weaves gradually in and out of coves on the North side of the lake. The south side has a couple good climbs. The rest of the ride is on the roads (Ridge Trail), which offers some nice views of the Peak and glimpses of South Catamount. The best access, in my opinion, is from the Catamount entrance at the end of Edlow Road (Past Woodland Park about 3 miles).... |

Stanley Canyon Trail
 | 13 miles away
9/7/2007
Hiked the Stanley Canyon trail with a friend and enjoyed the trail very much up to the reservoir. About half way up there is a ''V'' in the trail and you need to stay to the left or straight ahead. The trail leading up and to the right ends in scree and downed trees. It's a moderately strenuous trail up to the reservoir; but well worth it. Afterwards, we hiked up and past the reservoir and wanted to loop around and hit the lower Stanley trail but were unable to find the trailhead for it. We ended up blazing new ground and coming down Eagle Peak trail much to our surprise.... |

I was disappointed when I realized that canoes are not allowed. But it is very beautiful and a nice place for a simple hike....
Bring your fishing net!!!! I caught a two pound smallmouth off powerbait and reeled it in on 6lb test all the way to the bank and the line snapped as I pulled it up and out of the water because I had no net....
went in July 2007, no bites. Beautiful lake though.... |
Monument Lake
| 14 miles away
nice lake, easy to get to. Fits a couple of canoes. Some marshy area where people train their dogs. Fishing in 2007 was expected to be not the best due to the drought in 2004. We went twice in 2007, kids had a couple of bites, could see some people catching some smaller fish. Good lake for the ''I only have a few hours before the kids games'' kinda place.... |
