• Boyd Lake provides camping, fishing, bike trail access and water recreational opportunities for the northern Front Range.• Boyd Lake serves as a base for visitors making trips to Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Park, Budweiser Event Center and local
regional events.• The Loveland Trail runs through the park, providing opportunities to run, walk and bike through the park and access the surrounding
communities.
Our partners• Greeley & Loveland Irrigation Co.• City of Loveland• Seven Lakes Irrigation Co.• Larimer County Parks and Open Lands
Challenges we face• Preventing the spread of aquatic nuisance species (ANS) by inspecting boats, developing partnerships with shoreline neighbors and
train-ing and educating park visitors, user groups and constituents on the impacts of ANS and how to prevent their spread.• Changing operational needs with increased visitation, urban pressures and changing visitor expectations.• Aging infrastructure. The majority of park infrastructure was built in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, which we are replacing as funding
allows, following the guidelines of the 2015 redevelopment plan.
Volunteer activities• Camp host program volunteers pro-
vide over 6000 hours of annual vol-unteer service to the campground,which regularly earns visitor praisesof the “cleanest and best maintainedcampground we have visited.”
• Court-ordered volunteers help pre-pare and maintain the park. Undercareful supervision, these individu-als benefit the park and improvevisitors’ experiences.
