Review:
Jackson Lake State Park is a popular state park located within Morgan County northeast of the city of Orchard, anchored around the 2,411-acre Jackson Reservoir, which was constructed in the early 20th century and receives its water from the nearby South Platte River. The park and reservoir, which should not be confused with Mancos' Jackson Lake, is home to beautiful spacious beachfront areas that have been named as one of America's top 15 park beaches by Reserve America. In addition to seasonal swimming opportunities, fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, jet skiing, and waterskiing are also popular activities at the reservoir. Land recreation opportunities include hunting, biking, hiking, and an OHV motocross track. 260 campsites are offered at the park, including ADA-compliant facilities and group campsites.
