Lake Pueblo State Park Fact Sheet COLORADO PARKS & WILDLIFE Lake Pueblo State Park Who we are The mild climate of Lake Pueblo State Park makes it a premier year-round recreation destination, as well as one of the most visited state parks in Colorado. The park features a highly-regarded warm water fishery and boating area on its 5,399 surface acre reservoir with approximately 60 miles of shoreline. The park boasts 400 camping sites, two full-service marinas, miles of trails, a visitor’s center, a newly renovated swimming area and spectacular views of Pikes Peak, the Greenhorn Mountain, and the Sangre de Cris- to Range. As part of the park’s many offerings, visitors can enjoy beautiful short-grass prairie, piñon-juniper woodland and lush riparian ecosystems that provide homes to a wealth of wildlife including deer, coyote, beaver, fox, songbirds and birds of prey. Visitors to Lake Pueblo State Park spend about $126.6 million annually at local businesses.1 Top attractions • Fishing • Trails • Boating • Rock Canyon • Paddle sports Swim Beach • Two full-service marinas • Bird watching • Camping • Mild year round climate • Picnicking Our partners SCHENDEL/CPW VIC • U.S. Bureau of Reclamation • Southern Colorado Trail Builders Club • Pueblo County • Rocky Mountain Back Country Horseman Association • City of Pueblo • Trout Unlimited • Pueblo West Metropolitan District • Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce • Pueblo Board of Waterworks • Destination Pueblo • Goodnight Barn Restoration Stakeholders • Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District Challenges we face • Balancing increasing visitation and demand for expanded recreational opportunities with the park’s natural resources and 30+ year old facilities and infrastructure. We are in a master planning process to address these issues and to determine the appropriate approach to devel- opment and land management. • Seeking a long-term agreement with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, local communities and other partners to assist in the funding of capital rehabilitation projects and operating expenses for Lake Pueblo State Park. Volunteer Activities • Volunteers serve in such capacities as camp hosts, visitor service technicians and aquatic nuisance species inspectors. • Volunteers provide interpretive programs, monitor and maintain trails and monitor raptors within the park. • Volunteer groups such as Trout Unlimited and the Boy Scouts of America conduct ongoing specialized projects. • Twice a year, volunteers take part in a cleanup day to pick up litter at the park. 1Source: Corona Research, Colorado State Parks Marketing Assessment, “Visitor Spending Analysis 2008-2009” (adjusted for inflation).

    BULL MOOSE SPORTSMENS ALLIANCE/COLORADO BACKCOUNTRY HUNTERS AND ANGLERS/COLORADO TROUT UNLIMITED/COLORADO WILDLIFE FEDERATION/NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION/THEODORE ROOSEVELT CONSERVATION PARTNERSHIP/TROUT UNLIMITED/WESTERN NATIVE TROUT INITIATIVE Sportsmen's Recommendations for Supporting the Proposed Colorado Roadless Rule Problem 1: At 562,000 acres, the upper tier category in the preferred alternative is too small and fails to include much of the most important fish and wildlife habitat. Solution: After further upper tier areas are included by the agency for the Pike-San Isabel and Rio Grande national forests, the acreage of upper tier lands in the preferred alternative should increase to a total of at least 1.4 million acres (33% of Colorado's road less acres) using the prioritized list of road less areas below. Upper tier lands bordering Community Protection Zones may be cut back in acreage so the bordering areas are not included in the upper tier (the overlap is roughly 22,000 acres total). All Alternative 2 lands already placed in upper tier should remain there. Rationale: The upper tier category has been created to balance narrowly defined exceptions in the CO rule such as coal mining, ski area development, and community protection zone logging. This is very similar to the "Primitive" and "Wild Land Recreation" categories used to balance development allowances in the Idaho roadless rule. While important, the preferred alternative (alt. 2) acres are limited to areas where forest plans already prohibit road building. Using these acres as upper tier does not address key fish and wildlife habitat nor does it illustrate a commitment by the Forest Service to go beyond their current plans and create a truly protective rule.

  • Chapter 5 – Complexes: Area-Specific Management Recommendations
    Wild Connections Conservation Plan for the Pike & San Isabel National Forests Chapter 5 – Complexes: Area-Specific Management Recommendations This section contains our detailed, area-specific proposal utilizing the theme based approach to land management. As an organizational tool, this proposal divides the Pike-San Isabel National Forest into eleven separate Complexes, based on geo-physical characteristics of the land such as mountain ranges, parklands, or canyon systems. Each complex narrative provides details and justifications for our management recommendations for specific areas. In order to emphasize the larger landscape and connectivity of these lands with the ecoregion, commentary on relationships to adjacent non-Forest lands are also included. Evaluations of ecological value across public and private lands are used throughout this chapter. The Colorado Natural Heritage Programs rates the biodiversity of Potential Conservation Areas (PCAs) as General Biodiversity, Moderate, High, Very High, and Outranking Significance. The Nature Conservancy assesses the conservation value of its Conservation Blueprint areas as Low, Moderately Low, Moderate, Moderately High and High. The Southern Rockies Ecosystem Project's Wildlands Network Vision recommends land use designations of Core Wilderness, Core Agency, Low and Moderate Compatible Use, and Wildlife Linkages. Detailed explanations are available from the respective organizations. Complexes – Summary List by Watershed Table 5.1: Summary of WCCP Complexes Watershed Complex Ranger District

As agreed with your office, we gathered information on areas managed by two agencies: the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLN) and the Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service. Specifically, this report provides information on (1) legislative guidance and the agency policies governing wilderness study area management, (2) the various activities and uses occurring in the agencies’ study areas, (3) the ways these activities and uses affect the areas, and (4) agency actions to monitor and restrict these uses and to repair damage resulting from them. Appendixes I and II provide data on the number, acreage, and locations of wilderness study areas managed by BLM and the Forest Service, as well as data on the types of uses occurring in the areas.
