     You're almost certainly addicted to lakes, Lower Reservoir is one of those nearby; camping at Colorado Heights Camping is always a tremendous experience. Having a tremendous time in the Front Range is simple. If you haven’t been to Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, you have to schedule some time for it while you're here, and if you're dropping by from Colorado Springs, you won't be the only one. But wait, there's more exciting things to do in the  
   Front Range. The Winding Stairs Trail is a wonderful hiking trail right next door to Palmer Lake, and after a long day outdoors Sundance Mountain Lodge is a good place to spend a night or two.
Having a fine time at Palmer Lake is painless. Camping is available at Lake Of The Rockies Retreat; as expected, this is a great region for folks who like lakes, Upper Reservoir is a lake nearby. There is a great hiking trail close to Palmer Lake called the Stanley
 
               Canyon Trail, and one of the governing features of the surroundings of Palmer Lake is Ben Lomand Mountain. It is very dried up here at Palmer Lake frequently; the month with most of the rain is May; January is the month with the least moisture.
This lake is so wonderful. For you golfers we recommend close by Gleneagle Golf Club, and if you need a site to stay Fairfield Inn & Suites Colorado Springs North/Air Force Academy is a nice choice.

Monument Lake
nice lake, easy to get to. Fits a couple of canoes. Some marshy area where people train their dogs. Fishing in 2007 was expected to be not the best due to the drought in 2004. We went twice in 2007, kids had a couple of bites, could see some people catching some smaller fish. Good lake for the ''I only have a few hours before the kids games'' kinda place....

Hiked the Stanley Canyon trail with a friend and enjoyed the trail very much up to the reservoir. About half way up there is a ''V'' in the trail and you need to stay to the left or straight ahead. The trail leading up and to the right ends in scree and downed trees. It's a moderately strenuous trail up to the reservoir; but well worth it. Afterwards, we hiked up and past the reservoir and wanted to loop around and hit the lower Stanley trail but were unable to find the trailhead for it. We ended up blazing new ground and coming down Eagle Peak trail much to our surprise....

North Catamount Reservoir
14 miles away
For a nice hike/mountain bike ride, this lake has a complete loop around it. About half of it is single track that weaves gradually in and out of coves on the North side of the lake. The south side has a couple good climbs. The rest of the ride is on the roads (Ridge Trail), which offers some nice views of the Peak and glimpses of South Catamount. The best access, in my opinion, is from the Catamount entrance at the end of Edlow Road (Past Woodland Park about 3 miles)....
