This is a good location for Scouts to work on the fishing, motor boating, or canoeing merit badges. Take a boat or two and work on the merit badge, they can be beached near the campsite. Scouts also like to fish here and even catch some from time to time. It is suggested that you backpack to the backcountry campsites. It is about 1.5 miles to the furthest backcountry campsite (designated by the park as sites 18, 19, and 20). There is a latrine in the area. These backcountry campsites are the least used campsites and offer good places to beach your boats. There is good fishing access from shore. How to get there: Take US 24 west from Colorado Springs through Woodland Park, Divide, Florissant, and Lake George. About a mile west of Lake George a gravel road turns off southwest, CR90, follow this road for about 4 miles. CR92 will intersect with CR90, and turn south on CR92. Follow CR92 for 6 miles from the intersection and you will arrive at the State Recreation Area. Campsites and a boat ramp are available. There is a new State Wildlife area at Spinney Mountain Ranch State Reservoir and Wildlife Area northwest of Elevenmile Canyon Reservoir. State fees - Park vehicle pass and camping permit are charged separately: call for current fees. reservations are recommended. Ph. 1 (719)748-3401 or write to Elevenmile State Recreation Area, Star Route Box 4229, Lake George, CO 80827-4229.
