     There's no way somebody can get bored here in the Front Range. There are tremendous spots to look at along the Phantom Creek Trail, and you'll come across a scenic lake called Joe Wilson Recreation Reservoir. This lake is so wonderful. Going for a hike on the Hankins Trail is always a great adventure, and lakes are such peaceful locations, why not stop by Lake George Reservoir. Lake George is usually a relatively dried out spot; August is the wettest month with  
   most rain; January is when it's the driest.
Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument is a glorious place in close proximity to Lake George, and the scenery at Lake George Dam is striking. Glide down the rapids of South Platte River in a kayak, and camping is available at Eleven Mile.
This lake is so wonderful. Near Lake George you stumble on Arkansas Gulch which is a fine place to pop by, and why not camp at Lake George Cabins and RV Park while you're

The wintertime brings highs down to the 30's while Lake George night low temperatures during the wintertime are in the-10's. So much exciting stuff to do here at Lake George, too nice to be true. Take a little visit to Adamans Creek if you're here at Lake George; if you need a spot to stay Super 8 Canon City is a magnificent choice.
Lake George is a beautiful lake in the Front Range. So much cool stuff to do in the Front Range, not sufficient time. There is a great hiking trail right next door to Lake George called the Longwater Trail, and after a long day outdoors Country Lodge is a great place to spend a night or two.
