LOCATION.
1. Bear Creek Lake Park is just minutes from Denver.
2. It is located east of the C470 and Morrison Road intersection.
3. There is a $7 general daily fee per vehicle.
4. Summer hours are 6 am - 10 pm.


This is a great park, it's just a short drive from Denver, but gets you out into the open spaces fast, with 2,600 acres. It has rolling hills, grasslands and a number of lakes to enjoy.  Some of the activities are swimming, boating, fishing, biking, hiking, archery, waterskiing plus wildlife viewing. The park is kept very clean and is a enjoyable place to visit.  I mostly shot in the morning and again late afternoon to sunset, to get the best possible light. I traveled the park with two cameras, one with a 70-200 zoom and the other with a 500 mm lens. This gave me a pretty good chance to get any picture I saw! Being ready, with nice light, is a good combination for susses.
