LAKE ESTES
Only a few minutes drive from the Village of Estes Park, at the foot of majestic, snow-capped peaks and amid alpine splendor is beautiful new Lake Estes.
Created as part of the Colorado-Big Thompson project, this lake is a mecca for vacationists who enjoy water sports of all kinds.
There is lake fishing at its best since Lake Estes has been heavily stocked with game trout. There is no satisfaction akin to landing a fighting lake trout, unless it is eating one caught from the sparkling clean waters of Lake Estes!
Many hours of relaxing enjoyment can be experienced in this area—there’s a particular sport for every member of the family, and Lake Estes will help make your vacation complete. Boating, sun-bathing, or hiking are but a few of the reasons why Lake Estes is the center of activities in the Playground of America—Estes Park.
