This lake is so wonderful. After a long day outdoors Elevation Hotel & Spa is a good site to spend a night or two, and why not visit Lake Brennand Dam while you're here. Man, is there a heap of cool things to do near Nicholson Lake. The Lowline Trail offers hiking at its best, and if you've had
 
               enough of Nicholson Lake, Meridian Lake is close by. Paddling on Oh Be Joyful Creek is so much fun; get drenched paddling on East River.
There's perfect hiking along the Trail Riders Trail; a trip to Coon Basin rejuvenates the spirit. The snow is great at Aspen Highlands, and The Lodge at Mountaineer Square is a great place to get some rest. Head up to Irwin Lodge and strap some skis to your feet, and you're in all probability addicted to lakes, Lake Brennand is one of those close by.
If only every location had this much outdoors entertaining things, what a great world it would be. This lake is so wonderful. Why not camp at Crested Butte Mountain Resort if you're here at Nicholson Lake; why not take a refreshing hike along the Granite Basin Trail.

Lost Lake Campground

I just camped at Lost Lake 2 weeks ago! It is so beautiful and serene they were holding a wedding there 2 days after we left. With only 10 campsites, it is quiet and ideal for families or couples. A beautiful view of Lost Lake Slough and of the mountains in the background greeted us in the morning. The full moon rising over the crest of the mountain was a real treat the first night we got there. There is a 3 mile hike within walking distance on which we saw beautiful wildflowers, 2 waterfalls, and 3 lakes. ENJOY!...

Excellent white-water kayaking on the Crystal River, for the experienced expert only.  Coors Falls at Lead King Basin is a top scale challenge, as is the 2-mile river course from the Crystal Mill.  Somewhat milder is the Crystal River from Marble to Redstone.  Beyond Redstone gets a little hairy...
