Lake Loveland

Lake Loveland

This medium-sized lake is right in the middle of the city of Loveland, and several city parks provide excellent access. The lake can attract various water birds, especially in the colder months, as long as there is some open water. The northwest inlet can be very good for wading birds when water levels are right.  The highlight is usually the gulls, which sometimes gather here in large numbers. Rare gulls such as Glaucous, Thayer’s, and Lesser Black-backed can be regularly found in these flocks.
