The Colorado Department of Wildlife really hit one out of the park here! This is an interactive map of over 100 of the best places to take your children fishing in Colorado.
Here is how they choose the best Colorado Lakes and rivers for kid’s fishing: “Among the criteria applied were location, ease of access to the site and the shore or bank, open areas for casting, chances of catching fish, facilities (camping, biking, hiking, canoeing, picnic areas, restrooms), and other area attractions.”
The map gives you the following info: species of fish at the location, nearest town, basic directions, and a short description.
