Grand Lake is the deepest natural lake in Colorado 265 feet at its lowest point and serves as the headwaters of the Colorado River.

If it happens to be winter don’t despair, Grand Lake has been dubbed the ‘Snowmobile Capital of Colorado’ due to its access from Town to Colorado’s largest network of groomed snowmobile trails. Not to mention the snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and ice fishing!
