Barr Lake floats under the radar of many Denver area paddlers as compared to more popular places like Soda Lake and Chatfield. Its appeal is calm water, moderate visitation and heavily wooded coves that create a sanctuary for wildlife.

| Barr Lake |
Located just outside the 470 beltway, Barr Lake is one of the closest stand-up paddle places to the Denver area. It is especially convenient for residents of the northern or eastern parts of the metro area and those with state parks passes. Its location in the opposite direction from the mountains and its lack of visibility from major roads help to moderate the number of visitors on busy summer days.
