Vega State Park is a beautiful, high-mountain lake that sits in a glorious meadow on the northeast edge of Grand Mesa National Forest. Warm weather visitors are embraced by unexpected beauty, mild temperatures and blue Colorado skies characteristic of the park's 8,000 feet altitude.

Along with several beautiful campgrounds in the park, the lake offers great boating, water-skiing and fishing. Excellent ice fishing and snowmobiling have made Vega State Park popular with both winter and summer crowds. Visitors may access trails atop Grand Mesa for hiking, trail biking and four-wheeling in the summer, and cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter.

10 sites are walk-in - all 109 sites can be used by tenters.

Horses are welcome, you must bring outfield hay, water buckets, ect. $10 per horse per night. Call ahead to reserve the corrals.
