After a long day outdoors Comfort Inn Canon City is a great location to spend a night or two, and if you came for an overnight stay Oak Creek Campground is a magnificent place to camp.

From Dry Lake you obtain a perfect vista of Bear Peak, and drift down the rapids of Grape Creek in a kayak. This lake is so wonderful. Going for a hike on the Sheeley Trail is always a fine adventure, and Silver Park is a brilliant site to check out. A lake nearby is Deweese-Dye Reservoir, and if you come at the right time of year, Arkansas River offers some tremendous whitewater.

Fun? I must have the wrong place. Getting to Marion Lake is fun as well as the hiking sites along the way (Marion Mine, and others) but I wouldn't say this is a tourist stop. OK place to grab a few fish, but stay well-hidden. It is a level area and a quick walk can be made to Greenhorn Mountain Road....
