Stagecoach sets the stage for great recreation in the lush Yampa Valley. Vistas and views are backdrops to the 780-acre reservoir providing renowned lake and river fishing. This area also boasts a rich cultural history, beginning with the Ute and Shoshone Tribes using the area for hunting, gathering and making stone tools. French trappers and traders began using the valley in the 1700’s and paved the way for mining and cattle and sheep ranching, which continues today. The park was a stop on a Stagecoach Line running from Toponas to Steamboat Springs until 1907.
