Lory State Park provides access to Horsetooth Reservoir's multiple coves (Quarry, Orchard, North and South Eltuck, Soldier, and Satanka) for fishing and paddling activities.

Hand-launch access for canoes, kayaks, and rafts is available within a short walk from the North Eltuck Bay parking lot, with the nearest boat ramp located at Satanka Cove on Horsetooth Dam.

A Colorado Parks and Wildlife pass and fishing license are required; the park is open daily from 5 a. m. to sunset with a $10 daily vehicle pass fee.
