The staff/volunteers at the gate are wonderful, knowledgeable and kind. Unfortunately, the lake level is very low, but it is still peaceful and beautiful. The grasses are high and rugged and it feels very natural. The grounds are clean and all seems well kept.

Pretty park with nice walking trail around the lake. Unfortunately the water level was way down when we were there.

This park is great for a summer-style day out on the lake, but it doesn’t offer much for hiking or horseback riding compared to other parks. Still worth a visit nonetheless

3 stars as a local spot to bring your dog for a walk. Obviously, Boyd LAKE is a great place for boating and fishing. It also seems like a nice spot for a bike ride; however, you'll be dodging all those bikes quite a bit on foot. There's very little shade and a lot of long, exposed stretches. I still won't rate the park below average just because it doesn't cater to my specific needs. The walking (biking) path is well maintained. Staff is friendly. The bathrooms at the camp ground area require a pass code and there's no trash cans, but there are clean public access bathrooms and trash cans beyond the camp grounds. I live in Greeley and would love a place with a 4+ mile path when I don't have time to drive all the way to Poudre Canyon or something west of Denver. The search continues. Boyd Lake is still a nice place overall.
