State Park - Highline Lake
Back to Main
Area
Map |
An ideal base camp for exploring the Grand Junction
area, Highline Lake State Park is the center for water sports in
the Grand Valley of Western Colorado. The park features shaded,
grassy areas and maintained turf. Due to the park's low elevation,
it is an ideal getaway from early spring to late fall. There are
two beautiful lakes at the park; Highline Lake is designated for
water-skiers and boaters, and Mack Mesa Lake is designated for wakeless
boating only. Both lakes offer great fishing. Great blue heron,
white pelicans and whooping crane are just a few of the migrating
waterfowl that stop at the park. A watchable wildlife migratory
waterfowl overlook provides an excellent spot from which to watch
the park's wildlife, especially during the winter, when thousands
of ducks and geese migrate here. The overview also provides an excellent
view of the surrounding area. Highline Lake is a great place to
establish a base camp for mountain biking and river rafting.

Mary's Loop complex is 7 miles South and the 18 Road complex is
