The town of Grand Lake is an easy drive from Denver and the Front Range communities, including Estes Park. ?It’s an even quicker jaunt from Winter Park Resort, Sol Vista Basin, Fraser or Granby.

At the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park, Grand Lake is the deepest natural lake in Colorado, dipping to 265 feet. Fed by high mountain runoff, the lake is clear and pristine. In the summer, you can rent a boat, bring your own or simply enjoy the gentle lapping of the waves from the sandy shore. Grand Lake connects with Shadow Mountain Lake via a canal, and just down the road is Lake Granby, the second largest body of water in Colorado. Inside Rocky Mountain National Park, there’s even more water – 150 lakes and 476 miles of creeks and streams, including the headwaters of the Colorado River. In the winter, the frozen water in and around Grand Lake becomes part of the white wonderland, adding to the beauty of this Colorado vacation oasis.
For more than a century, families have been returning time and again to Grand Lake for their summer and winter vacations. Some come for the day, many for the week or month, a lucky few for a lifetime. Visit once, and you’ll soon know why it’s hard to leave! If you’ve never been to Grand Lake, now’s the perfect time, or if you’ve already experienced the beauty of the mountains and lakes and the charm of the people and village, you deserve to come again.
