Introduction and Methodology Project Scope and Schedule The Supplemental Park Management Plan contains six sections: Methodology, Regional Planning Context, Existing Conditions, Management Zones, Enhancement Opportunities and Implementation. Information pertaining to the Regional Planning Context and Existing Conditions was originally generated as a separate, stand-alone document entitled The Lake Pueblo State Park 2012 Facilities and Operations Assessment. In 2013, the Bureau of Reclamation, in conjunction with Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), initiated a formal NEPA Environmental Assessment for federally owned lands, which is still in process and is expected to be completed in 2017. Concurrently, the State of Colorado initiated a separate process for lands owned and/or managed by the State of Colorado. While it was the intent to keep the projects on a concurrent planning track, it was determined that it was in the best interest of Lake Pueblo State Park (LPSP) to complete the Supplemental Park Management Plan as soon as possible to explore and implement management strategies for the Honor Farm, State Land Board parcel and Chain of Lakes. Purpose The purpose of the Lake Pueblo State Park Supplemental Park Management Plan is to: 1. Examine management concepts for Honor Farm, Chain of Lakes and State Land Board properties given the current ecological, social and economic environment. 2. Provide strategies that will direct the management and use of these areas well into the future. 3. Develop specifi c actions necessary to implement enhancement opportunities. Project Goals Project goals were developed jointly by the consultant and CPW personnel in conjunction with the Phase I - Facilities and Operations Assessment. Supplemental Park Management Plan Planning Area The SPMP addresses all resources within (3) Management Units: • Management Unit 8: Chain of Lakes (257 Acres) • Management Unit 9: Honor Farm Property (1750 Acres) • Management Unit 10: State Land Board Property (349Acres) Colorado Parks & Wildlife administers recreation, fi sheries, wildlife and other resource management activities on state- owned lands, as well as on approximately 4,512 acres of land and 4,646 acres of surface water owned by the Bureau of Reclamation, which comprise the 11,318 acres of Lake Pueblo State Park. Lands owned by Bureau of Reclamation, reservoir operations, water levels, and operations of the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project, and Pueblo Dam are not part of the SPMP. Lands owned by the Bureau of Reclamation (Management Units 1 – 7) will be addressed in an Environmental Assessment/Resource Management Plan (EA/RMP) currently in progress with an expected completion date of 2017. DRAFT Colorado Department of Natural Resources: State Parks and Wildlife 1 Lake Pueblo State Park: Supplemental Park Management Plan A - INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY Goal #1: Foster a Park Management Mentality • Build an objective assessment of the value of park assets. CPW is typically focused on acquisition and construction of new facilities, and does not currently identify or fund annual or recurring maintenance for parks assets. All funding for annual and recurring maintenance must compete for priority with other initiatives in the annual small capital and large capital funding exercises. Increased deferred maintenance costs and changing uses on CPW owned and managed properties at LPSP demand a departure from this standard approach to park maintenance. • Develop a maintenance budget and operations manual based on the total value of park assets. • Identify potential improvements that serve as a basis for annual capital requests targeted specifi cally at annual and recurring maintenance requirements. • Consider the SPMP a tool for ongoing discussions regarding the development of dedicated maintenance funding for LPSP and other state parks. Goal #2: Adopt a Contextual Perspective • Modify the “Lake-Centric” perspective adopted in the Park’s infancy to accommodate enhancement opportunities that recognize and build upon new, non-lake oriented uses, and recreation initiatives in adjacent jurisdictions. • Utilize the Bureau of Reclamation’s “Water and Land Recreation Opportunity Spectrum System (WALROS) as a means of identifying the potential/desired visitor experience at the park. • Explore and leverage partnership opportunities with adjacent jurisdictions. Note: there is an existing institutional culture of self-reliance and independence that has evolved within LPSP that succeeds in isolated, rural or primitive contexts. Lake Pueblo State Park is situated in an urban and suburban context, and there are tremendous benefi ts to explore partnership opportunities with adjacent jurisdictions and agencies. Goal #3: Build Park Credibility • The original design of Lake Pueblo State Park was not intended to accommodate projected visitor numbers, and the current visitor counts now exceed those projections. Increasing visitor counts means that there are more visitors frequenting limited facilities, which requires increased maintenance to meet the expectations of park users. • Acknowledge and encourage multi-use trails as one of the major attractions of Lake Pueblo State Park. • Generate new park map that includes all CPW owned lands and acknowledges new uses and user groups. • Provide venues for formal and informal public comment regarding access and assets as an expression of attentive and quality customer service. • Maintain park assets 2 DRAFT Colorado Department of Natural Resources: State Parks and Wildlife Lake Pueblo State Park: Supplemental Park Management Plan A - INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY Process Public and agency involvement was utilized to ensure full representation of parties interested in the CPW owned lands in Lake Pueblo State Park. A series of Stakeholder Interviews was conducted in Phase I, which was followed by a two public open houses. The fi rst public open house introduced the planning process, reviewed existing conditions and resources and allowed attendees to identify issues, concerns and ideas for future development of facilities and access to CPW lands. Following this initial open house, the consultant team and parks staff developed a list desired actions (See Appendix), which was used to generate enhancement opportunities to guide future park improvements. Stakeholder Interview Summary will be attached to the fi nal SPMP and located in the Appendix.

Lake Pueblo State Park implements winter hours for boat ramps and decontamination stations that guard against the invasion of zebra and quagga mussels “These seasonal hours mean boaters have less freedom to come and go at Lake Pueblo,” said Joe Stadterman, Lake Pueblo operations manager. “After ANS stations and gates are closed, the boat ramps are locked and no boats are able to enter or leave the water. “The strict control of access is necessary to continue to keep Lake Pueblo free of invasive zebra and quagga mussels.” CPW orders public fish salvage as extreme drought threatens a catastrophic die-off at Wahayoya Reservoir in Huerfano County Wahatoya Reservoir, a coldwater lake known for rainbow, brown and cutthroat trout, is in imminent danger of a catastrophic fish kill due to extremely low lake levels.

  • I. Introduction
    I. INTRODUCTION A. PLAN PURPOSE Colorado State Parks is dedicated to long-term planning in order to provide a consistent and progressive management presence at all of its properties. The agency s mission, development, and acquisition goals are set forth in Horizons , State Park s five- year plan. To aid in the planning process, State Parks has also adopted a policy of revising each Park Management Plan every ten years. This process allows staff to gather input from park visitors, local citizens and other natural resource professionals on topics that relate to the overall management of the park. As the population grows state and region wide, we will see an increased demand for water-based recreation along the Front Range. Conservation and enhancement of our limited resources through sound planning will insure their existence for future generations. This management plan updates information contained in the park s overall Master Plan which was completed in 1989. It is designed to provide concepts, information and goals for the future development of the area. The area management philosophy, outlined below, was used as a basis in the formulation of this plan. To provide a safe, high quality recreational experience for all visitors to the area. To preserve, for the use and enjoyment of future generations, the natural, cultural and historic values of the resource. To maximize recreational opportunities and enhance the natural quality of the site through planned area and facility development. B. PARK PURPOSE Trinidad Dam and Reservoir was created by the Army Corps of Engineers, primarily to protect the town of Trinidad and the lower Purgatoire valley from floods.
