What a nice lake Island Lake is. This lake is so wonderful. Camping at Skyline Campground is always a wonderful experience, and the vista of stunning Clark Peak is wonderful. Go for a hike on the Blue Lake Trail, and camping is available at Tunnel Campground. That right there is heaps of entertaining things already but it goes on, the Medicine Bow Mountains has it all. Going for a hike on the North Fork Trail is always a nice adventure, and Carey Lake is a nearby

| | lake that you could stop by. Don't leave Island Lake without first going for a hike along the West Branch Trail, and there are some perfect whitewater spots on Joe Wright Creek. This lake is one of the great places here in the Medicine Bow Mountains. It is very arid here at Island Lake ordinarily; May is the month that gets the most rain; the driest of the months is January. You'll in fact wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the amusing things | |

in the Medicine Bow Mountains. A brilliant nearby hotel is Gateway Inn Restaurant Cnf Ctr. Summertime brings highs in the 70's to Island Lake. Once the sun is down it drops down to the 30's. High temperatures through the wintertime
are normally in the 20's, and nighttime lows in the 0's for Island Lake. And if that's not enough, there's loads more to do near Island Lake. A lake close by is Twin Crater Lakes; whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Cache La Poudre River.

Tunnel Campground
 | This has been a favorite vacation/relaxation spot for my family for many years. The popularity has grown and the campground is very busy during the summer months on weekends. There is great stream and lake fishing nearby, plenty of trails for hiking and an evening drive to Long Draw Reservoir is guaranteed to provide sightings of elk and moose. ... |
Browns Park Campground
 | Drove up from Longmont, sad to see closed even after Memorial day.... |
Long Draw Reservoir
 | 13 miles away A very nice place to go camping, hiking and fishing. The reservoir has an astonishing breathtaking view, nothing like I have ever seen before, yes that beautiful! We went the weekend of July 10th, 2009 the weather during the day is very nice and sunny avg. temp about 75 degrees, the nights however are very cold, dipping into the low 40's and 30's, so be prepared for that, we came with too little of blankets and learned that to be a big mistake. Long draw is located about 15 mi. inland from Hwy 14 just past Chambers, driving into the reservoir looks deceitful because it seems as though you are traveling into the thick of the forest with nothing but trees around, but be patient 15 mi. in you will discover the camp ground, enjoy!... |
