Yampa River State Park
"Rangely residents and visitors often travel to Yampa River State Park for camping and river recreation. The park offers a different landscape than the high desert around Rangely."
Yampa River State Park follows the Yampa River through a broad valley of cottonwoods, wetlands, and open ranchland. It offers multiple access points for floating, fishing, picnicking, and wildlife watching, with campgrounds and day-use areas spread along the river corridor.
Pearl Lake State Park
"Rangely is within range for visitors planning a longer weekend trip to the Yampa Valley. Pearl Lake offers a contrasting alpine environment with fishing and camping opportunities."
Pearl Lake State Park centers on a pristine 167-acre reservoir surrounded by spruce and aspen forest at the base of the Zirkel Wilderness. Visitors come for trout fishing, non-motorized boating, camping, and peaceful scenery in a high-country setting.
