State Park - Harvey Gap
Back to Main
Area Map |
Harvey Gap State Park, five miles east of Rifle Gap
Reservoir, is a favorite spot with anglers. The 160-acre lake is
stocked with a variety of cold and warm-water fish, including rainbow
trout, crappie, catfish and smallmouth bass. Known for its premier
windsurfing, Harvey Gap also offers hiking, boating and picnicking.
Camping is not allowed at Harvey Gap, but is permitted at nearby
Rifle Gap and Rifle Falls State Parks. In the winter, enthusiasts
can snowmobile, cross-country ski and ice fish. Visitors can see
wildlife in the area, and there are some migrating waterfowl. This
day-use area sits at an elevation of 6,400 feet. The park is a beautiful
cedar and sagebrush habitat, with a grand hogback -- a mountain
ridge that runs along the backside of the park.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pike, trout, bass, crappie, perch and catfish all inhabit the lake.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Take I-70 to the Silt interchange west of Glenwood Springs.
Turn north on County Road 237 and follow the signs for a few miles
to the park entrance.
