Rifle Gap

Rifle Gap state park is a reservoir created by a dam northwest of Rifle. The boat ramp and parking lot are nice.  There are reservable camp sites. 

Entrance fee to Rifle Gap is another great reason to purchase a Colorado State Parks pass. 

Fishing and water skiing or tubing are fun summer activities. There is a beach at the southwest of the park for swimmers.  

In the winter, you can ice fish. 

Always be ready for heavy winds and leave no trace!
