👍👍 One of the most stunningly beautiful places I have ever visited. There are lots of areas to camp, picnic, hike, fish, and just relax by the mountains and crystal blue water. If we are ever back in Leadville, we will 100% be back at the lake

👍👍 Such a beautiful loop to walk, run, rollerblade or skateboard. It’s paved all the way around, there are always lots of people out taking advantage of the wonderful weather. Plus you can’t beat the view! The mountains are on one side and the city is on the other.

North Catamount Reservoir
Lake
👍👍 Love this lake and its sister - we kayak across to avoid the main shore and always find an open cove. Not many hike all the way around so many spots have little to no signs of people. Give yourself at least 30 minutes to get back anytime after 3 as winds tend to pick up and depending on ur type of h...

👍👍 How have I lived in Colorado for 5 years and not known we have a beach! A nice one. We came by to check this place out. So happy we did. They let us turn our day pass into an annual pass. You can also add a 2nd vehicle for an additional $30. We might do that too. Swimming area, fishing areas, boats,...

👍 Really don't have anything bad to say about it. It's a good parking area to enjoy a hike up the mountain. The lake is very pretty, probably overshot in a photographic sense. Beware the road in front of the lake, it is very rough although it is paved. Nothing 99.9% of cars shouldn't be able to handle...

Bear Creek Lake

👍 It is a nice lake with a man made beach. Great for paddle boarding with friends like we did. $10 admission fee is reasonable. The parking lots for Soda Creek were full by 12 though. The only negative thing I can say about the place is the mosquitoes. OMG, there were a lot. So along with your su...

👍👍 Parking. Lots of shoreline access. Great for kayaking and paddle boarding. Dogs allowed. Swimming allowed but COLD!! It can get very windy here. And evil fisherman leave their lines and hooks behind... Kept pretty clean, I didn't see any trash, but I did almost step on a hook! 😠
