Located around three lakes in the foothills of Lakewood, Bear Creek Park is hidden between C-470 and Red Rocks.

At 100 acres, Bear Creek Lake is the largest. The lake was formed as a result of building Bear Creek Dam. Bear Creek Lake is open to motorized boating between March 15 and November 15. The park has 47 campsites, two yurts, and three cabins. There is a lovely sandy beach at Big Soda Lake perfect for swimming, and it is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. There are no lifeguards on duty but there is a small playground, two sand volleyball courts and several beach picnic shelters. The park is also popular for fishing, horseback riding, biking, and hiking on the 15 miles of park’s multi-use trails. Pets are welcome in the park on-leash everywhere except on the beach.
