Description

High Altitude Paddling at Colorado's Beautiful Barr Lake

Rentals are offered at Barr Lake early season as the water levels continue to drop through the summer.  Barr Lake is a unique location as it allows lake recreation use during late spring/early summer and then is slowly drained as the local farming community uses the water for irrigation.  Located in the northern outskirt of the metro area, this is a great location for those near Brighton, Denver, and Thornton. 

Looking for a long distance paddle?  Then, this is the location to go to with it's massive size and beautiful view of the Rocky Mountains. Discover this Colorado state park known for it's premier bird watching. Located just north of Denver, this activity makes for a perfect outdoor outing with your friends or family. You don't have to live near the coast in order to enjoy paddle sports! We offer state-of-the-art equipment and all rentals come with all required equipment. So what are you waiting for? Come paddle with us today!

 Location

Barr Lake 13401 Picadilly Rd, Brighton, CO 80603. After entering the park, head to Boat Ramp. The rental kiosk is just left of the entrance, near the boat ramp: Google Maps link
