This guide identifies mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and fish of Chatfield State Park. Chatfield reservoir is one of the largest bodies of water along the Front Range open to public recreation. The park offers water enthusiasts the opportunity to enjoy fishing, boating, sailing, water-skiing, and swimming in the 1,500 surface acre reservoir. Nearly 3,900 acres of park land provide additional recreation opportunities including bicycling and hiking. Mild climate and a convenient location attract almost 1.5 million visitors each year. This makes Chatfield one of the most visited parks in the State system. Positioned approximately fifteen miles southwest of downtown Denver, and within a short drive of Parker, Castle Rock, and Colorado Springs, Chatfield provides a welcome retreat for many Front Range communities.
