About Bonny Lake State Park

Bonny Reservoir, also called Bonny Lake State Park, sits on the South Fork of the Republican River near Hale, just west of the Kansas border in Yuma County. The Bureau of Reclamation manages the dam and reservoir, and the Colorado Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation runs recreation at the site. Anglers can pursue many species, including walleye, crappie, white bass, and channel catfish. Visitors also find boating, camping, picnicking, water sports, and wildlife viewing. The reservoir covers roughly 2,095 surface acres and includes about 15 miles of shoreline.
