}}Lathrop State Park is a Colorado state park located {{convert|3|mi}} west of Walsenburg. The state purchased the property in 1962 and opened Colorado's first state park here later that same year.[1] It is named after Harold Lathrop, the first director of state parks.[1] The park features two lakes, Martin Lake and Horseshoe Lake, that offer fishing for tiger muskie (46-inch, 25-pound examples have been caught here), rainbow trout, bass, catfish, northern pike, blue gill, saugeye, and wipers.[2]

The park also offers a beach, boating, water skiing, wind surfing, jet skiing, picnicking, hiking, wildlife viewing, camping, and a nine-hole golf course.[3]

Lathrop is the only Colorado state park with its own golf course.[4] The Walsenburg Golf Course was founded in 1965 and after two years of construction opened in 1967.[5] It was built by 50 Walsenburg citizens and many local volunteers in a public/private partnership.{{citation needed|date=May 2013}} The course's restaurant/lounge overlooks the lakes and the National Natural Landmark Spanish Peaks.

Over 107,000 visitors passed through Lathrop State Park in the last year for which figures are available.[6]
