Just got this from Colorado Parks and Wildlife about state park boat ramps and aquatic nuisance inspections. No word yet from Horsetooth or Carter Lakes but they didn't open in years past until April 1.
DENVER, Colo. – Colorado Parks and Wildlife Northeast Region announces boating opening dates in seven state parks for the 2024 season. Before launching in Colorado waters, boaters will need to ensure their boat is registered, purchase an aquatic nuisance species (ANS) stamp and follow all ANS inspection requirements. Inspections can be done at a state park or CPW administrative offices during weekdays.
Opening dates:
Barr Lake: Monday, April 1 at 8 a.m.
Boyd Lake: Monday, March 11 at 8 a.m.
Chatfield: Monday, March 11 at 6 a.m.
Cherry Creek: Friday, March 1 at 8 a.m.
Eleven Mile and Spinney: Opening date to be announced
Jackson Lake: Saturday, March 2 at 8 a.m.
North Sterling: Monday, March 11 at 8 a.m.
St Vrain: Friday, March 1 at 8 a.m. (editor's note: must be boat ramp at Blue Heron)
All boats are also required to have one Coast Guard-approved life jacket for each person on board. Life jackets can save lives when they fit properly and are worn when recreating on the water. Boaters are also encouraged to take a boating safety course with CPW to learn navigation safety and what to do in case of an accident.
