Please help welcome the Marina’s newest rental fleet member!  The MasterCraft “X-Star” 450 horsepower beast.  Rental of this machine comes with a pilot/coach and all the wakeboard, water ski and wakesurf equipment you can handle.  Give us a call to inquire about rates and availability.

No… I’m not a videographer, but here’s a simple look at what you can expect from our comfortable Camper Cabins…

Continental Divide Running

The Steamboat Lake Marina wants to cordially welcome one of the area’s newest activity vendors… Epic Running Adventures (www.EpicRunningAdventures.com).  Epic Running Adventures offers cross-country running camps through the single track trails of the Rocky Mountains.

Their next “Adventure Camp” is scheduled for August 5-8 with both overnight and day clinic options.  For the out of town guests, these adventure camps lodge at the beautiful Dutch Creek Guest Ranch which is located directly across from Steamboat Lake.  Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included.

Afternoon Hiking

Designed for runners of all abilities, runners can expect daily provisions, transportation and coaching as part of the overall experience.

You’ll run sections of the Continental Divide along with other gorgeous North Routt trails.  Then, relax at the end of the day with horseback riding, canoeing, fishing or a massage!

The Steamboat Lake Marina welcomes our newest neighbor, Epic Running Adventures, and we wish you success in the years to come.

As a father myself, there’s nothing I love more than spending time with family and friends on the lake.  Here are a few photos that sum up my love for this place more than words can say.  Be sure to check out our frequently updated “Daily Photos” for a photo timeline of how much this place evolves.  As famed skier/videographer Warren Miller likes to say:  If you can’t make it to Steamboat Lake this summer, you’ll just be another year older when you do (or something like that!):

Here’s a hi-speed look at the scenic drive into the Steamboat Lake Marina and the lake’s edge.  Just think… if you visited the lake this summer, this view could be ALL YOURS!

Perhaps it’s because we feed them lots of sugar, but the hummingbirds of Steamboat Lake LOVE the feeders outside our office. The birds can be seen constantly throughout the day and have become extremely tame to our presence. They’ve even been known to land on your hand, as demonstrated by our owner Karl.

In an effort to make renting one of our boats more exciting this summer, we’ve decided to get rid of all our docks and park our boats 20 feet from shore.  From now on, if you want to rent a “party pontoon” you’ll need to walk to it!!!

If you’ve never seen a “water blob” before, let me tell you that they can be a TON of fun.  I would love the State Park to get one of these at the lake this summer but as you will see from this clip, there are inherant risks.

Your View This Summer!

If you are planning to bring your boat to Steamboat Lake and the Steamboat Lake State Park this summer, we’d love to have you!  There are two boat ramps available for full-size boats on the lake; Placer Cove and the Dutch Hill Area.  The Sage Flats ramp is for use with launching small boats only.

The Marina offers overnight dock rentals, fuel, concessions, camping supplies, firewood and a whole lot more.  For our visitors staying at the park can store boat trailers west of the Marina.  Complete boat registration details can be found on the Colorado State Parks website.

A Day Permit or a Parks Pass is required to access the park and the boat ramps.  Annual Parks Passes can be purchased for $60 per vehicle and there are discounts for seniors, veterans and those that are disabled.

In response to various threats such as Zebra and Quagga Mussels, all boats must first be inspected by a Colorado State Parks Ranger in order to prevent the spread of Aquatic Nuisance Species.  Inspections will include a thorough scan of all boats and floating devices including their content, motors, trailers and associated equipment.

For those that don’t plan to bring their own boat but would love the opportunity to explore the lake from the water, please allow us to help you with the perfect Steamboat Lake boat rentals.
