     Glide down the rapids of White River - North Fork in a kayak. Lakes are brilliant; Lake of the Woods is a lake that's close to Blue Lake. If you came for an overnight stay Shepherds Rim Campground is a tremendous site to camp; do pop by Lake of the Woods Dam if you're here. This lake is so wonderful. Bucks Campground is a great local campground, and if you come at the right time of year, Sweetwater Creek offers some great whitewater. This lake is so wonderful.

So much enjoyable stuff to do at Blue Lake, so little time. You get a brilliant sight of Himes Peak from Blue Lake, and some nearby water includes Lynx Creek.

Trappers Lake Campground
I've been going to Yampa since I was around 5 years of age. I'm not usually too keen on seeing new hotels being established in sleepy mountain towns, but The Oak Tree Inn is an exception. It's a welcome addition to this amazing little town and a great retreat when the snows come....

Yamcolo Reservoir

I fished last year and am coming back next week to fish again.  It is very nice to fish from a boat or bank, but I prefer boat....Wife and I where fishing Stagecoach, then we heard of Yamcolo, it was about 20 mins out of Yampa.

Elk lakes are located about 5 minutes from the wilderness area only 1/2 mile to the parking for jet lakes....

located at the foot of Blair Mountain Adams Lake is well worth the trip. Definatly a 4 wheel drive Jeep Trail but only a few miles from Elk lakes, Jet lake, Shadow Lake, Blair lakes , Crater Lake, Deep lake and bison lake. Lots of Cut throat trout, rainbows and browns. Most deffinatly more than a one day trip. Always plan for all kinds of weather, and definitely tent camping only....
