Great Place to Fish In Longmont

If you need a great family friendly place to fish,as the weather gets warmer,check out St. Vrain State park. It really is a great place to catch bass,trout and maybe a occasional Catfish! - Mike

St. Vrain State Park is a family-friendly destination for visitors seeking a peaceful and simple outdoor break. It’s an easy drive from Denver or Fort Collins, located on Highway 119 just off I-25 (Exit 240).

Formerly named Barbour Ponds, this nature and people-friendly park offers 604 acres of land and 152 acres of water split among several ponds. It’s a great place for anglers, campers, photographers, birders, walkers and anyone who loves nature.

Since 2006, Colorado State Parks added amenities like modern camping facilities, trail additions and fishing piers, with many more improvements on the way.

Oskar Blues Longmont

Longmont, COAs its located in a state overflowing with top-notch beer, Longmont often gets lost in the mix -- especially since the other towns are major tourist destinations like Fort Collins (New Belgium), Boulder (Avery), Denver (Great Divide), and even Golden (Coors).

But Longmont has a scene of its own, including two gems that have risen to national prominence: Left Hand Brewing and Oskar Blues. Located about 45 minutes North of Denver, Oskar Blues also dominates the food scene in town, offering a burger joint (CHUBurger), a Mexican spot where you can get your bike tuned up while you drink at the bar (CyclHOPS Bike CAN-tina), and a pub (Oskar Blues Homemade Liquids and Solids), all of which offer food sourced from their own farm. To top things off, if you're buying Oskar Blues' tallboys and Left Hand's nitro stouts for home, Longmont hosts the ultimate place to pair those beers: a world-class cheese shop with 350+ types of dairy gold from all over the world, a place hilariously named Cheesed To Meet You. We wish. It's Cheese Importers.
Essential beers: Left Hand's Milk Stout, Oskar Blues' Ten FIDY, Pumphouse Brewery's Flashpoint IPA, 300 Suns Brewing's Rabbit Mountain Red Ale
Essential event: Oktoberfest (Sept)

Longmont Summer Activites

Put it on your calendar folks. Rhythm on the River is set for July 10 and 11. Musicians and entertainers being lined up.

History of Rhythm on the River

Rhythm on the River began in 1995 as a small celebration for the opening of Roger’s Grove along the St. Vrain Greenway. Roger Jones was an avid outdoors person whose dream was to give the community a park / arboretum to visit in the middle of the city. In 1995, the family donated funds to the city for the purchase of the property adjacent to the Boulder County Fairgrounds. He and his wife also had a passion for music and art, hence the name Rhythm on the River. The event theme was created around the environment and the Jones's passions for the arts. In the beginning, a few vendors and two bands entertained visitors. Since that first year, the event has kept with the theme of educating the visitors through music, art and interactive components.
