Blue Heron Reservoir is the largest of the many ponds in St. Vrain State Park. As you walk the Blue Heron Trail around the reservoir, there's is a good chance you'll see the namesake bird patiently fishing for food. Even if you don't see a heron, you still will get great views of the front range over the water as you explore the state park.
