Ketring Lake near Littleton: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Ketring Lake is one of the Arapahoe County waters in Colorado. It sits at 5,466 feet above sea level. The water measures roughly 13 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Littleton sits 1.1 miles from the bank. Further out sit Columbine Valley (1.8 miles) and Greenwood Village (2.7 miles). Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Ketring Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Open biodiversity records for Arapahoe County list common carp, white sucker, walleye, green sunfish and bluegill. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Ketring Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 72°F; the cold one sits at 31°F. Conditions shift steadily rather than sharply. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Ketring Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. There is recorded parking some half a mile off. A pier 160 yards from here gives a platform over deeper water. Ketring Fishing Hole is the mapped fishing point, 170 yards out. Picnic facilities are recorded some half a mile out. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Belisle Reservoir, 1.7 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Signs at Ketring Lake carry more weight than any list.
