     The South Derby Trail offers hiking at its best, and McGinnis Lake is a tremendous place to visit for more than one day, Bucks Campground is a tremendous place to camp nearby. McGinnis Lake is right by the High Trail, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Sweetwater Creek. This lake is so wonderful. There's fine hiking along the Ute Trail. Lakes are great; Margaret Lake is a lake that's close to McGinnis Lake. On a  
   gorgeous day you acquire a vista of Lost Lakes Peaks from McGinnis Lake, and you're almost certainly interested in lakes, Skinny Fish Lake is one of those nearby.

Trappers Lake Campground
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....

Yamcolo Reservoir
