Sheldon Lake, or City Park Lake, is a pond in the heart of Fort Collins. It is a popular spot with locals and visitors alike on hot summer days where you can fish, walk the trail around the pond, birdwatch, and swim in the City Park pool (that has a waterslide!). In the winter you can ice fish, ice skate, and play pond hockey. The ice is checked daily by the city to ensure it's at least 6 inches thick and safe for recreational activities.
