Dates were/are:
North: Boyd Lake, Loveland, CO - Sat/Sunday July 26/27th 2014
MAP: https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zddZh0teKW0M.k6BU0KQYPmEA
INFO: Reserve a camp site ASAP if you wish to camp there! No camping on the beach or near the ride spot. Hotels nearby too.
Camping:
To reserve a spot go to http://www.reserveamerica.com/campi...undDetails.do?contractCode=CO&parkId=50019#sr its
$20.00 Per Night, $140.00 Per Week. It looks like most of the spots next to the water are already taken. Most spots are setup for trailer with 40 ft parking and electric hookup. All "Cottonwood Shores" is in the same general area ( I would recommend getting as close to the water as possible - as those are the nicer spots). Pets are allowed in the park and must be on a leash. It is a busy camping spot, so make sure to lock up your gear, etc.

Boyd Location:
From I-25, take exit 257 and head west. Continue on Hwy 34/Eisenhower Blvd to Madison Ave (appx 3 miles). Turn North on Madison Ave until you reach 37th St (appx 1 mile). Make a right and head east on 37th St. This road turns into 11C which is where we are located, on the east side of the road. There are several hotels reasonably priced also located nearby (off highway 34)
Riding Area:
We will setup/ride from the "Jet-ski" beach" Please note that this is not the same location as the campground. This is also not the same location as the "main ramp". You will need to get you ski inspected for Zebra Mussels prior to dropping in. Upon entering the park you will see signs directing you to the Zebra check area (its by main ramp). After inspected you will get tagged and head to the north end of the lake for the jet-ski beach. The beach has a much nicer area for setting up, and spending the day. It has a sandy beach which is good for family's/kids. We usually setup on the east end of the ramp and this area can get very busy with other jet-skiers. You will park right next to the jet ski beach and it is very easy access to get back to your car.
Gas: Boyd marina sells ethanol free 91 octane gas. It is expensive, there are several other stations that sell 91 octane along highway 34 as well.
(Past Event)South: Lake Henry, near Sugar City, CO Sunday June 1st 2014
Camping available (free) on the beach. No major facilities or cities nearby. Pack accordingly. Convenience store down the road is about it.
