We really loved our stay here! It's hard to wrap your brain around the fact that you are in the middle of a city. Massive amount of beautiful, well cared for nature. Very easy to get in and out with our 40' RV, LOTS of trails and space to walk the dogs (would have been perfect for bike riding), enjoyed fires at night and even saw the northern lights! Great laundry area (easy to use app so no worries about finding quarters). Pay showers but I didn't use. There was a large coyote presence so I would be cautious leaving any small dogs unattended but they pretty much kept their distance. We loved hearing them at night. Would love to stay again!

This is a great place to visit for long walks, biking and running/jogging. There is also a campground area, beach, marina! It was beautiful and peaceful when we visited, I can imagine the crowds during summertime. We enjoyed our visit.

I love this lake to fish It's so clean and so many trees and vegetation and animals I've seen dear many times. I also saw big toad. This is my go-to place when I want to relax take my dog out.

Great views for a morning run! The attendant at the East entrance was very helpful. Gave me a map and gave perfect instructions on how to get to Dixon for the trail. I ended my run by the lake. So peaceful. I’m going back tomorrow for my 8 mile run down Cherry Creek Dam.

I went yesterday, July 29, 2025, with my husband. The place is beautiful for hiking and camping, although some young people don't believe in cleanliness and throw trash everywhere, even though the reserve provides them with all the necessary places and trash containers. Nevertheless, the romantic reserve is beautiful, sunny days are available, and water is always available near all the seating areas, and the bathrooms are clean.

Such a lovely state park. Wonderful trail to walk, it is paved for road biking. There are many bathrooms along the trail too. Also I love the swimmable area in the reservoir. Super refreshing for after a workout! Leave no trace :)

What a beautiful state park! The campsites were large with pavement & concrete. Not to mention, each site was so spread apart we felt like we had an actual yard! Great bike paths too. We were so impressed every day with the amount of upkeep the workers were doing in sites as soon as people left. We will definitely stay here again! Great job to the staff here!

A huge park in the heart of Aurora. Great for biking, boating, and water activities. The campground can be a bit noisy. Since the daily entrance fee is $11, consider getting an annual pass if you plan to visit often.

Wildlife comes out at night! Coyote presence!! Great campground with very nice RV spots. Only negative is the flying bugs, millions of them. I'm sure it's just this time of year...

Cherry Creek Reservoir is a stunning spot! Great for boating, fishing, and hiking with beautiful Front Range views. Busy in summer, but the beach and trails are worth it. A must-visit Colorado gem!

Cherry Creek Reservoir State Park is a fantastic destination for a scenic drive, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. It's also perfect for walking or biking, with plenty of well-maintained trails to explore. The park features numerous picnic areas, many of which boast picturesque vistas, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing outdoor meal. Additionally, visitors can launch boats onto the reservoir and take in the beautiful scenery from the water. Whether you're looking for an active adventure or a peaceful day in nature, this park has something for everyone.

Walked the Cherry Creek Reservoir Loop trail today which included the Dam Trail, Lake View Trail, and Smoky Hill Trails. Fairly peaceful and quiet walk with my wife. We were surprised at the little motorist noise from the dam. Beautiful day, calm, not windy. Disappointed with the amount of trash washing up from the water. Very disappointed with the number of cyclists that say nothing as they approach from behind. Out of more than 2 dozen cyclists that passed us from behind on two, TWO said on your left. What is wrong with people??? Complete lack of respect or knowledge, or maybe entitlement. Multiple groups of 3+ cyclists that said nothing, just rolled by within inches as they passed. Plus a group who were on the Wetland Trail which has clear signs notifying visitors (No bicycles, horses, pets). Really unfortunate that there are people that refuse to learn appropriate behavior on trails!
