Carl, A couple of options Brandon Percival suggested to me: (And I use both....)
1. Park in the Osprey Picnic Area lot of Lake Pueblo State Park and walk east to the gravel pit/lake on the paved bike trail. (Just before getting there I usually angle right on what seems to be an old road and then you can walk closer to the shore where you like.) 2. Park in the state park's "Chain of Lakes and Arkansas River Access <https://goo.gl/maps/d981dJGjDrLKYTwMA>" parking lot on Hwy 96 just east of the "Goodnight Barn" and walk north to the gravel pit/lake. You'll actually need to walk a bit northwest to cross a bridge, but it's pretty obvious on site. You can also check the pond just north of the parking lot.
