About Sweetwater Lake State Park
Sweetwater Lake State Park is the name announced in 2021 for a proposed state-managed recreation area centered on Sweetwater Lake in the White River National Forest in Garfield County, Colorado. The lake is about 12 miles (19 km) northwest of Dotsero, Colorado, near the Flat Tops Wilderness. The United States Forest Service acquired the 488-acre (197 ha) property in 2021 after an interim acquisition by The Conservation Fund. Governor Jared Polis later announced a proposed partnership under which Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) would manage the site.
