If you bring your own life jackets for yourself or your children, we will inspect them to make sure that they are Coast Guard approved and meet the requirements for Type, size, and weight.

Lake Granby and The ANRA
Lake Granby is in the Arapaho National Recreation Area, which is managed by the U.S. Forest Service. The ANRA includes Lake Granby, Shadow Mountain Lake, Willow Creek Reservoir, and Monarch Lake. The ANRA is a federal fee area, so the Forest Service requires you to pay an access fee.
You can purchase a day pass at one of the self serve kiosks located at Cutthroat Bay, Stillwater, Sunset Point, or Green Ridge. You can purchase an annual pass at the Forest Service visitor center in Granby.
No. You do not need to purchase a pass to visit the marina or rent a boat from us, as we pay fees to the Forest Service for you.

Launch ramps are open only when inspectors are on duty; currently 6 am to 8 pm.
