Fishing

Note special bass fishing bag limits for the lake. All other Colorado Division of Wildlife
Fishing regulations apply. Fish habitat structures sunk throughout the lake in the late
1990’s have enhanced fish populations. Bass, bluegill, green sunfish, and perch can be
caught at Hine Lake. Swimming, boating, wading, belly boats, and ice fishing are
prohibited.

granite sand surface. There are other trails and sidewalks available at the park.
Park History
The original park was built by the developer of the Waters Edge subdivision.
It was dedicated to Foothills in the late 1980’s. Jefferson County Open Space purchased
the remainder of the park in 1992 and leased it to Foothills. It is interesting to note
that the park was originally zoned for single family homes prior to the Open Space
purchase.
