With the Gunnison National Forest enveloping Paonia State Park, visitors can immerse themselves in spectacular mountain scenery. Paonia State Park is open seasonally each year, between spring and fall. Sweitzer Lake State Park serves the community of Delta as a day use area with a popular walking trail, and offers wildlife viewing opportunities, Waterfowl hunting, fishing, a swim beach, and is an outdoor classroom for school field trips. Visitors come to Sweitzer Lake for action-packed boating and waterskiing on busy days, and relaxed nature play on mellow days.
