Lockaway Storage | March 13, 2025 @ 12:00 AM

In northeastern Colorado, near the communities of Loveland, Timnath, Berthoud, and Johnstown, Boyd Lake State Park is a must-see for Colorado residents and visitors alike. Boyd Lake has something for everyone – whether your interests include boating, fishing, hiking, or just enjoying beautiful scenery.

Fun on the Water

Boyd Lake is one of the best places in northern Colorado for relaxing on the water. Anglers can try their luck catching rainbow trout, channel catfish, and both largemouth and smallmouth bass; the lake is popular for ice fishing in the colder winter months, but there are fishing opportunities all year long. Warmer months allow access to the fishing pier.

While you're casting your line, keep an eye out for colorful sails – Boyd Lake is often full of people boating, jet skiing, paddleboarding, and kayaking. With a boat ramp and a full-service marina, you'll be able to spend all day out on the water. And if you're looking for a place to store your boat afterwards, don't worry: Lockaway Storage has facilities nearby, so you can find convenient boat storage near Boyd Lake whenever you need it.

Hiking and Camping

Boyd Lake State Park is over 1,700 acres – and there's plenty to do at this beautiful natural locale. The park has 140 campsites that are equipped for RV camping, with electrical hook-ups, restrooms, and grills. From your campsite, you'll have a beautiful view of the water as well as access to paved and grassy trails. Cyclists and hikers will love exploring these picturesque paths with amazing Rocky Mountain vistas.
