Cherry Creek Reservoir

Close to Denver, this spacious lake is a go to spot for paddling, picnics, and summer fun.

Cherry Creek Reservoir

We operate at two locations inside Cherry Creek State Park, one on the East Side (Swim Beach) and one on the West Side (Pelican Bay Marina). Each location has its own vibe, amenities, and access points.

Entry Fee

Please plan on a park entry fee of $11/vehicle. Season passes are also available!

Park Location

West Side (Cherry Creek Marina)

Cherry Creek Marina is located inside Cherry Creek State Park at 4800 S. Dayton Rd. in Greenwood Village, CO. Upon entering through the west entrance, follow signs for Pelican Bay Marina.

East Side (Swim Beach)

Our swim beach location is a trailer conveniently located near the swim beach restrooms. Look for a grey trailer with a blue flag on the beach! You can find the pin here.

Please note we are only open on here on Saturdays and Sundays

Can My Pup Paddle Too?

Pups are encouraged to join the adventure! Bring your four-legged first mate on any of our watercraft and let them enjoy the ride (just don’t let them steer!)

If they need a little extra safety, we’ve got dog lifejackets available on a first-come, first-served basis.

When Nature Calls…

Restrooms are conveniently located in three spots on the west side of the park (because sometimes, nature calls before you hit the water!)

Didn’t Bring Lunch?

Grab a snack or drink on site! For tastier options, check out the Marina Pub.
