More than 350 species of birds have been spotted at Barr Lake.  Numerous bald eagles winter at Barr Lake and one pair stays to nest and raise its young every year. 

The main entrance to the State Park is from Picadilly Road.  The park hours are 5 a.m.-10 p.m.  A daily pass ($7) or annual pass is required for entry to the park.  

Take a hike on a trail adjacent to the lake to arrive at the cache location.  Look for the TRAIL sign to begin your nature walk.   Tweezers may be helpful. Please take care returning it to its hiding place. Please be gentle with the container.

Congratulations to two much fun for FTF!

Headed a little north today with both dogs to do some caching. Started out a little chilly but then warmed up to be a perfect April day. Love the thought and care you put into your caches.

There’s no question about the remoteness of this cache. Made it more fun to find with Gandergoose along. TFTC. Enjoy listening to the “singing” of the nearby frogs too

Gets a favorite for creative hide and container. Live Wire 77 and I out on a Barr Lake State Park cache run. Beautiful day, a nice walk in mostly cloudy conditions. We enjoyed very much.

Needing a few more caches to get another souvenir and DaWife being off and today being the coolest day of the week, we decided to come out to the park and make an afternoon of hiking and caching. We parked by the visitor center and started walking, it was warm and pretty windy which made walking enjoyable. There were lots of pelicans out on the lake with a few flying around keeping us entertained. Pretty so, we arrived at GZ and after a little looking and feeling, we had the cache in hand. TFTC.

This was the second one we found at our first trip to this park. I really went out on a limb for this one, and have the torn pants to show for it, but it was worth it! Great cache! : ).
