Vega State Park is a high-mountain lake that sits in an alpine meadow on the west edge of Grand Mesa National Forest. Warm weather visitors are embraced by unexpected sub-alpine beauty, mild temperatures and blue Colorado skies characteristic of the park's 8,000 feet altitude.
Along with several campgrounds in the park, the lake offers great boating, water-skiing and fishing. Excellent ice fishing and snowmobiling have made Vega State Park popular with both winter and summer crowds. Visitors may access trails atop Grand Mesa for hiking, trail biking and four-wheeling in the summer, and cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter.
