Steamboat Springs boating

If you are planning to bring your boat to Stagecoach Lake, just south of Steamboat Springs this summer, we'd love to have you! There are two boat ramps available for full-size boats on the lake, one on the north shore of the lake, and the other in the Morrison Cove area. The north shore ramp is serviced by the Marina, offering boat rentals, a gas dock, and basic fishing and camping supplies. The Morrison Cove area ramp offers picnic areas and vault toilets.

Inspection Requirements

The Marina offers overnight dock rentals, fuel, concessions, camping supplies, firewood and a whole lot more. For our visitors staying at the park can store boat trailers west of the Marina. Complete boat registration details can be found on the Colorado State Parks website.

A Day Permit or a Parks Pass is required to access the park and the boat ramps. Annual Parks Passes can be purchased per vehicle and there are discounts for seniors, veterans and those that are disabled.

In response to various threats such as Zebra and Quagga Mussels, all boats must first be inspected by a Colorado State Parks Ranger in order to prevent the spread of Aquatic Nuisance Species. Inspections will include a thorough scan of all boats and floating devices including their content, motors, trailers and associated equipment.

For those that don't plan to bring their own boat but would love the opportunity to explore the lake from the water, please allow us to help you with the perfect Stagecoach Reservoir boat rentals.
