SUMMARY:Chapter Family Picnic at Lake Lehow 2026
DESCRIPTION:The WDTU Summer Family Picnic is Saturday\, September 19th\, 2026 from 10:00 AM until around 5:00 PM. This will be a fun and secluded location for families and Chapter members to enjoy a day of catch and release fishing\, hiking\, games\, camaraderie\, and good food. The Chapter will provide fried chicken\, potato salad and coleslaw\, as well as water\, soft drinks\, and chips. Let us know if you can bring a side dish or a dessert. Think baked beans\, salads\, pies\, cakes\, and cookies. \n\n\n\nLink to RSVP Soon!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLake Lehow is a Colorado Parks and Wildlife facility across the street from the entrance to Waterton Canyon. The private stocked lake\, large covered pavilion\, and spin and fly-fishing equipment available for our use at no charge\, and outhouses are provided for free by CPW. No fishing license is required there since the land is owned by Denver Water. The lake is bank access only\, no wading\, and offers a wheelchair accessible fishing pier also. The Platte River/ Waterton Canyon is across the street if someone wants to further explore or bike the area. No dogs are allowed in the Canyon due to the big horn sheep herds. Lehow has stocked trout\, bass\, some perch and catfish\, and bluegill.\n\n\n\nACCESS TO LAKE LEHOW\n\n\n\nThere is no official address for the lake. You’ll need to use your favorite map app or GPS device and search for the Waterton Canyon Trailhead Parking lot. \n\n\n\nSteps for getting to the Picnic: \n\n\n\n1. As you pull into the parking lot\, take your first right. This section is usually blocked off with a sign that says “Trailers Only” or a chain. If the sign/chain is up\, just move it and proceed through. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Drive down the road (parallel to the fence). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. There is a gate at the end of the road that will look like it is chained secure. It will be unlocked. Get out of your vehicle\, unchain the gate and drive through. Then be sure to close the gate and secure the chain as you found it. DON’T lock the chain! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Then follow the main road to the lake. There will be offshoots to the left and right but stay on the main road. There is a large parking area (marked “P”) before you get to a large brown shed on the right. You can park anywhere in this area but not beyond the shed. The picnic will be at a covered event space (marked with the circle).
