Recreational activities include fishing, sailing, water skiing, camping, picnicking, swimming, scuba diving, and rock climbing. The reservoir has approximately 1,144 water surface acres, 910 land acres and 8 miles of shoreline. Water levels may vary up to 60 feet, filling in winter, with the lowest water occurring in mid September.
Carter Lake requires entrance and camping permits. All watercraft including their motors, trailers, compartments, and any other associated equipment or containers may be inspected for exotic invasive species with the exception of personal small craft (e.g. hand-launched rafts, kayaks, belly boats, float tubes). Larimer County Parks operates a small visitor center at the lake that provides recreation information and issues recreation permits.
For safety reasons, no ice fishing is permitted.
