John Martin Reservoir State Park
719-829-1801
John Martin Reservoir State Park is a sapphire on the plains of southeastern Colorado. Located in the Lower Arkansas River Valley, visitors come to John Martin to take advantage of modern campgrounds, great fishing, uncrowded boating waters, diverse wildlife viewing opportunities, and to see historical signs of the past. The park has 213 campsites, which can accommodate recreational vehicles, trailers, and tents.
The large reservoir accommodates all forms of water recreation including water skiing, jet skiing, sailing, windsurfing, and swimming. Anglers catch walleye, saugeye, bass, wiper, crappie, perch, and catfish.
John Martin supports a diverse community of wildlife. Resident and migratory birds abound here, making the park a bird-watchers paradise. Every year from mid-April to late August visitors share the sand and gravel shores of the reservoir with the Threatened Piping Plover and Endangered Interior Least Tern. During the winter months, Bald Eagles can be seen throughout the area.
