Colorado Parks and Wildlife has signed a new contract with the current operator of the Lake Pueblo State Park North Shore Marina infrastructure, which allows for the replacement of the Marina.

The O’Neil Group, the Marina’s current operator, offers on-lake towing services, mechanical service and assistance, boat slips, food, and fuel from the North Shore Marina. The contract was set to end in Oct. 31, at the end of the 2025 boating season.

“Colorado Parks and Wildlife and The O’Neil Group have signed a new contract extending operations through 2045,” said Becky Buist, LPSP Operations Manager, in a press release. “This contract ensures services at the North Shore Marina continue in support of park guests and their recreational opportunities. It also reflects CPW’s commitment that amenities at Lake Pueblo State Park are managed responsibly with the public’s best interest in mind.”

According to CPW, LPSP had almost 3 million visitors in 2024, offering boating, swimming, camping, and more. The park has marinas available on the north and south shores.

“We are excited to work with CPW to build the new marina for Lake Pueblo State Park,” said Kevin O’Neil, owner of the O’Neil Group in the press release. “The new general store will encompass a restaurant amenity, laundry facility, increased fuel capacity and additional pump out stations. We look forward to serving Pueblo and the community at large for many years to come.”
