Visit Us
Open sunrise to sunset everyday, Bluff Lake is a wonderful place to visit to
get some peace and quiet in the city. This special place
is protected for our wildlife inhabitants and visiting human
neighbors. Please stay safe and help us keep Bluff Lake
wild and natural by following our wildlife friendly rules.
- Stay on trails & walk quietly. Loud noises will
scare wildlife and disturb other visitors.
- Even leashed dogs stress wildlife, please walk pets
elsewhere.
- Trails are for walking and jogging. Please, no horses,
bikes or motorized vehicles.
- No sledding, tubing or snowmobiling on the hill. It
will damage the habitat and is very dangerous as there
are yucca and rocks on the hillside.
- Park bikes on top of the bluff.
- The Lake is not suitable for fishing, swimming or boating.
- No food or drink beyond the bluff.
- No fishing, hunting or trapping.
- No camping, fires or fireworks.
- No alcohol or drugs.
- No firearms, paintball or archery.
- If you have a group larger than 5 people, please call
our offices to schedule your time.
- Do not release unwanted pets. Many of them are exotic
and can harm the native residents. Please contact us if
you would like more information about what to do with
unwanted pets.
Bluff Lake Nature Center is located on the
eastern edge of the former Stapleton airport, along Sand
Creek. Finding the site can be a bit tricky the first time. This is in part due to the changing neighborhoods around the site and the fact that there is no mailing address to rely on for the site. The map and directions below should help you find your way. Click here to view an online map.
