Review & FAQ:
Lathrop State Park was established in 1962 and was Colorado's first state park. It is close to the New Mexico border, approximately 170 miles dues south of Denver, in the shadow of the Spanish Peaks. There are two lakes in the park. The warm water Martin Lake has a beach and is popular with swimmers. Horseshoe Lake is known for tiger muskie fishing but there are several other species to be caught including rainbow trout, bass and catfish. Lathrop is the only state park with a golf course. There is a restaurant at the course. There are 103 campsites, some with electrical hookups.
