West Lake Day Use Area offers a developed access point with seven picnic sites, each equipped with tables and fire pits, plus restrooms and potable water available.

The site accommodates both fishing and non-motorized boating with a $10 per vehicle day-use fee, and only hand-propelled, wind, or electric-motor vessels are permitted on the water.

Dogs must be kept on a hand-held leash, and the area sits at 8,200 feet elevation in Larimer County.
