It’s a delightful discovery … two lakes, right outside the city. And their very presence sets the tone for life at Barefoot. Where summer days can be spent on a kayak or paddleboard. And winter brings its own activities, from peaceful walks waterside to wildlife watching. There’s just something about water. You’ll see.
Want to know where to find the fish, or drop your SUP? This map shows you where the fishing spots and docks are on our lakes.
See Community MapLaunch a kayak or canoe. Go out on a paddleboard. Drop a fishing line (more on that in a bit). At Barefoot, there are a lot of ways to get on the lakes (just not in them — there’s no swimming allowed). And don’t worry if you don’t have a non-motorized watercraft. On weekends during the warmer months, you can rent one through Rocky Mountain Paddleboard, or participate in one of their events like moonlight paddleboarding and paddleboard yoga.
Saturdays and Sundays, May 24–September 1
10am–6pm on the Barefoot Lakes Dock

More InformationOne thing that can swim in Barefoot Lakes’ lakes? Fish. Lots of them. And with six designated angling spots, a day spent catching bass, crappie, sunfish or bluegill could very well be in your future. Quick fishing fact: if you’re over 15, a Colorado Fishing License is required. (Don’t have one? Get it here.)
Get a Fishing LicenseWe’re right off I-25 at Exit 240 — just 15 minutes east of Longmont and north of Erie, and 30 minutes north of Downtown Denver.
