History

History:

The Keyhole area centers on the reservoir, approximately 14,720 acres of water recreation opportunity. The elevation at Keyhole is 4,100 feet. Seasons are comparatively mild, with great weather from spring through fall, and some of the finest ice fishing in the state during the winter months. Keyhole State Park was named for the “Keyhole” livestock brand that was used by two brothers by the name of McKean. They established a ranch in the area.
