At approximately 09:45 on June 13th, 2020 South Metro Fire Rescue responded to the park to help recover a boat trailer that dislodged from a vehicle and rolled into the water. Members of the Dive Rescue team suited up, entered the water, and attached a cable to the waterlogged trailer, allowing a heavy wrecker to pull it out. State park officers closed access to the boat ramp for about two hours as crews worked to remove the trailer. No injuries were reported. This was the second time in two weeks that South Metro Fire Rescue was called to the boat ramp in Cherry Creek State Park for a water recovery, link to the first story: South Metro Boat Recovery
