Anglers can catch cutthroat trout and grayling from Pearl Lake a 167 acre reservoir. The best fishing of the year tends to be mid to late May during ice off. Fishing at Pearl Lake is restricted to flies and artificial lures, and no baits are permitted. A two-fish bag limit is enforced and each fish must be over 18 inches.

Pearl Lake State Park, nestled in the mountains north of Steamboat Springs, offers peace and quiet in a lush forest setting. Surrounded by towering pines, visitors camp along the lake and up a gentle hill, which is deep in the cozy woods.

Excellent fly and lure fishing is available at the park where native cutthroat trout flash their red throats when pulled from the water. This incredibly peaceful area is lush and green, a true escape from the day-to-day routine.
