Sneve Gulch is a fishing lake in Colorado's Eagle Ranger District, part of Sylvan Lake State Park within the White River National Forest. It is managed by Colorado's state fish and wildlife agency and sits within the park's own boundaries rather than on national forest land alone. The most comfortable stretch for a visit runs from June through September. Typical averages from the nearby Meredith weather station, which sits at a lower elevation, put July highs around 81°F with lows near 40°F, while September cools to a typical high of 71°F. Winter is cold, with January highs around 34°F. The Sylvan Lake Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and the West Brush Creek Trail is about half a mile off. Yeoman Park Campground and East Brush Creek, a paddling spot, are both about 3.3 miles away.
