     Not sufficient hours in a day to enjoy this place. There are other spots here than Dead Lake, for example Mason Reservoir, and you can stay the night at Clyde Campground. Not much rain falls here at Dead Lake; most of the rain falls through July while January is the month with the least amount of precipitation. On a delightful day at Dead Lake you can take a hike along the Waldo Canyon Trail; lakes are such calm places, why not pop by McReynolds Reservoir.
 
   Man, is there lots of exciting stuff to do in the vicinity of Dead Lake. Now, you may assume that's a lot but there's even more entertaining stuff to do here in the Front Range. A tremendous close by hotel is The Cliff House Hotel at Pikes Peak. There's so much to do here at Dead Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Wye Campground is a wonderful site for that. This lake is one of the great places here in the Front Range.
Lots of folks from Colorado
 
               Springs come to Dead Lake; you must positively pop by Windy Point while here. Don't forget to take a good little spree to Boehmer Creek, and everyone loves Elk Park. This lake is so wonderful. Do go to Mason Dam since you're here at Dead Lake, and after a long day outdoors Americas Best Value Inn Villa Motel is a fine place to spend a night or two.
This lake is so wonderful. The vista of pretty Almagre Mountain near Dead Lake is wonderful, and since you're here you can take a hike along the Barr Trail. Whohoo, so many fun things in one place!

North Catamount Reservoir
For a nice hike/mountain bike ride, this lake has a complete loop around it. About half of it is single track that weaves gradually in and out of coves on the North side of the lake. The south side has a couple good climbs. The rest of the ride is on the roads (Ridge Trail), which offers some nice views of the Peak and glimpses of South Catamount. The best access, in my opinion, is from the Catamount entrance at the end of Edlow Road (Past Woodland Park about 3 miles)....

Keep your eyes open.  I've done the trail at least a dozen times, but my wife on her first and only trip found these mountain goats....
9/7/2007
Hiked the Stanley Canyon trail with a friend and enjoyed the trail very much up to the reservoir. About half way up there is a ''V'' in the trail and you need to stay to the left or straight ahead. The trail leading up and to the right ends in scree and downed trees. It's a moderately strenuous trail up to the reservoir; but well worth it. Afterwards, we hiked up and past the reservoir and wanted to loop around and hit the lower Stanley trail but were unable to find the trailhead for it. We ended up blazing new ground and coming down Eagle Peak trail much to our surprise....

Monument Lake
18 miles away
nice lake, easy to get to. Fits a couple of canoes. Some marshy area where people train their dogs. Fishing in 2007 was expected to be not the best due to the drought in 2004. We went twice in 2007, kids had a couple of bites, could see some people catching some smaller fish. Good lake for the ''I only have a few hours before the kids games'' kinda place....
