Ute Lake State Park

Ute Lake State Park

This beautiful lake is known for its numerous coves and inlets; excellent fishing territory for walleye, small mouth bass, crappie, bluegill and channel catfish. It is also the largest Labyrinth Weir Spillway Facility in the world. The lake is almost 13 miles long, but it's only a skinny one mile across. The state park has three paved ramps on the north side and two on the south side for boating, water skiing, scuba diving, swimming, sailing, fishing and wind surfing. Visitors can rent small boats and pedal-boats and purchase fishing and boating supplies at the marina. The Cedar Valley Nature Trail loops 1.5 miles through fairly rugged terrain with panoramic views of the lake. The park also has an off-road vehicle area near Ute Creek and a small visitor center with exhibits and information on park activities.
