NO FISHING in North or South Cheyenne Creek within North Cheyenne Canon Park!
There is a rumor going around that it is ok to fish in North Cheyenne Canon Park. Don't believe it!! It is Not ok to fish in the Park.
Per Ord. 89-97; Ord. 01-42; Ord. 18-24: It is unlawful for any person to fish in any of the waters of the parks except in those areas designated by the Manager. North and South Cheyenne Creeks are not designated for fishing within North Cheyenne Canon Park.
Prospect Lake and Quail Lake are designated areas for fishing as long as you possess a current fishing license issued by the State Division of Parks and Wildlife and are in those areas designated by the Manager. Limits are determined by the Colorado State Division of Parks and Wildlife. Know the limits!!
Practice Leave No Trace and dispose of fishing line, lures, trash, etc. appropriately. That means take out what you bring in to the parks!

Another Leave No Trace reminder:
Pack it in. Pack it out! (that includes your trash and doggie dodo.)
The park and volunteers thank you for not expecting others to clean up after you.

Well meaning, but still graffiti!
Please No Painted Rocks in Natural Areas:
Considered Graffiti/Litter: National parks, state parks, some city parks and wilderness trails view any painted stone or marking as vandalism.
Environmental Harm: Paint can leak chemicals into soil and water, and moving rocks harms small animal habitats.
Leave No Trace: Rangers remove painted rocks from trails because they ruin the natural views.
Please practice Leave No Trace!
