The trails on the east side of Lory provide access to some of Horsetooth Reservoir�s bays and coves. Canoeists, kayakers and rafters can hand-launch their crafts within a short walk from the North Eltuck Bay parking lot. Power boaters can launch their boats at the Horsetooth Dam boat ramp 2 miles away in Horsetooth Reservoir. Power boating is also available at the nearby Boyd Lake State Park. Boaters and off-highway vehicle users can now register boats, OHVs and snowmobiles at Lory State Park during visitor center business hours.

The park also hosts Homestead Picnic Area, an ADA accessible picnic area with restrooms. This picnic site offers ample shade and BBQ grills.
