One of the overriding highlights of the surroundings of Blue Lake is Little Flat Tops, unsurprisingly you could also take a look at Bull Park Reservoir while you're here; it's not far at all. Summertime at Blue Lake arrives with high temperatures in the 80's, and through the night it cools down to the 40's. High temperatures throughout the wintertime are normally in the 20's while the cold winter nights at Blue Lake are in the 0's. This lake is so wonderful.

| | East Coal Creek is a glorious spot to stop at, and why not take a refreshing hike along the Ute Trail. A lake close by is Heart Lake, and Blue Lake is right by the South Derby Trail. Whohoo, so many amusing things in one place! Blue Lake is unbeatable! Dry warm beds await you at Oak Tree Inn Yampa, and hiking along the High Trail is wonderful fun. This lake is so wonderful. If you need a spot to stay Fairfield Inn & Suites Steamboat Springs is a pleasant | |

choice. Blue Lake is pleasant enough to spend more than a day at, Trapline Campground is a pleasant local campground, and tremendous water scenery is available at Heart Lake Dam close to Blue Lake. Get yourself into a kayak and
hit Sweetwater Creek. There's so much to do here at Blue Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Bucks Campground is a great location for that. Around Blue Lake you don’t get a lot of precipitation; March is when you get the most snow here, and the driest of the months is June.

Trappers Lake Campground
 | 14 miles away 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.... |
