About Pearl Lake State Park

Pearl Lake State Park sits at the base of Farwell Mountain in Routt County, north of Steamboat Springs. Visitors can hike the lake trail, watch birds and wildlife, fish for cutthroat trout, and picnic or camp along the shoreline and ridge. Boating closes to motorized vessels on November 1, and hand-launched non-motorized craft are allowed at the visitor's own risk until the lake freezes. Two yurts offer a winter backcountry stay near the park.
