Why trailers get moved before winter

A utility trailer earns its keep in summer: hauling firewood, landscaping loads, kayaks and moving day. Boat trailers spend the season at Lake Estes and Mary's Lake. Once the season ends, both just sit, and a parked trailer in Estes Park in winter means a snowbank on the driveway, a hitch you cannot find, and neighbors or HOAs asking when it will move.

Moving the trailer to a paved, gated lot in the fall keeps the driveway clear for snow removal, keeps the trailer off the street, and gives you one known place to pick it up in spring.

Picking the right space

10x20 open parking
Paved outdoor parking for utility trailers, boat trailers and snowmobile trailers. The common pick for a single-axle or small tandem trailer.
15x70 for bigger rigs
Long open spaces for larger setups, such as a truck-length trailer or a rig you want to keep hitched.
Drive-up unit, 5x10 to 10x25
Enclosed ground-level units for the ramps, tools, covers and tarps that ride with the trailer. Ask the office whether a small trailer fits the larger sizes.

Open parking has no electrical outlets or hookups, so plan battery care before you drop off. The size guide shows how the spaces compare.

Short drives matter in the shoulder season, when you may want the trailer back for one more fall project or one more day on the water.

Before you drop the trailer off

Empty and clean it
Clear out debris, leaves and loose gear so nothing holds moisture all winter.
Tires and bearings
Inflate tires to spec and check bearings and lights so spring starts smoothly.
Lock the coupler
A coupler lock or wheel lock adds a simple layer of security.
Tarp it tight
A secured tarp or cover keeps snow from loading the deck. Tie it so wind cannot lift it.
Battery off or out
No hookups means no trickle charging, so disconnect or remove any battery for breakaway brakes or winches.

If the trailer carries a boat, the full prep steps live in our boat storage guide, and RV owners can start with the RV storage guide.
