some flowing water close by, Middle Fork Conejos River is a stream you can visit while here; if you need a spot to stay Allington Inn and Suites is a wonderful choice. Stay the night at Mix Lake Campground, and dry warm beds await

here at Blue Lake, too good to be true. Why not take a refreshing hike along the San Juan Stock Driveway; if you're here, you could also take a look at pretty Laguna Ruybal. Blue Lake is a beautiful lake in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains.

Bear Lake Trail
 | Bear Lake was surely a disappointment! I'd heard it had good fishing, but after puffing up a long, steep, and confusing trail (we lost our way more than once, delaying our arrival about an hour) we found the lake nearly dry; muddy, and infested with mosquitoes! Next time I'll save myself the bother and fish the Conejos. ... |
Opal Lake
 | I was raised near this lake and when a child we had to pack horses into this lake. It is not near any campgrounds, and it's over 25 miles to town, not 18. It gets way colder than 0 in the winter but the views are almost correct. It IS beautiful!... |
Trujillo Meadows Campground
 | 16 miles away In the 16 years that I have lived in the area, there has never been white water ( for rafting, canoeing, kayaking etc. I presume) in the Brazos. I think you are referring to the Chama River which starts in the Colorado San Juans and flows through New Mexico into the Rio Grande in Espanola ,NM. Plenty of white water there in the spring time....You seem to have missed letting people know about the great trout fishing at Trujillo Meadows. I have never been there that I haven't hooked a big one.... |

San Juan River - East Fork
 | 19 miles away I am a very close relative of the land owners for a significant portion of the East Fork. There is a couple of miles of river that is private land. Using the river or the land without authorization is tresspassing and is illegal. I am by no means giving you permission to use it. I am simply stating the facts. Please respect the property line and stay on public lands. Other than that enjoy your time in CO and happy rafting.... |
