About Highline Lake State Park

Two lakes make up the park's core: Highline Lake, sitting at 4,702 feet, and Mack Mesa Lake, at 4,728 feet. Birdwatchers can use two migratory waterfowl overlook kiosks to spot great blue heron, white pelicans, and whooping crane. Fishing is permitted year round, and in winter the grounds stay open to snowshoers and cross country skiers.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
