| | Dixon Dam is worth taking a look at since you're here, and you'll hit upon a lovely lake called Annex Reservoir Number 8. Soar down the rapids of Cache La Poudre River - North Fork in a kayak; if you need a spot to stay Budget Host Inn Fort Collins is a great choice. Be careful coming to Black Lake, you might not ever wanna go back home again. The Armstrong Hotel is a good place to get some rest; a round of golf at nearby Fort Collins Country Club Golf | |
