     Parika Lake is in the vicinity of Bowen Pass which is definitely worth taking a look at, and if you need a site to stay Gateway Inn Restaurant Cnf Ctr is a splendid choice. Just can't get enough of Parika Lake. In the event that you don't mind getting soaked, you can always go whitewater paddling on Willow Creek, and dry warm beds await you at Americas Best Value Inn Bighorn Lodge. This lake is so wonderful. Since you might be in a lake visiting mood you  
   can always take a look at nearby Ruby Lake, and don't leave Parika Lake without first going for a hike along the Mineral Point Trail. Teller City Campground is a wonderful local campground, and good hiking is available along the Bowen Trail.
Parika Lake is pretty dried out ordinarily; all through the month of May you get the most rain around here; January is the month with the least moisture. Not far from Parika Lake, you'll come across Blue Lake which is a
 
               lovely lake; Bowen Mountain can be seen from Parika Lake. Summer brings highs in the 70's to Parika Lake. Summer overnight lows sink down to the 30's. Daytime highs throughout the winter are in the 20's with winter lows in the 0's overnight here at Parika Lake.
This lake is so wonderful. Cache La Poudre River has a great whitewater paddling spot close by, and what would winter be without some skiing at SolVista. Parika Lake is a pleasant spot to visit for more than one day, Timber Creek Campground is a pleasant spot to camp nearby; there are glorious sites to look at along the Baker Trail.

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!...

Tunnel Campground
16 miles away
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. ...

Watanga Lake
18 miles away
We hiked up to Wantaga Lake from the Roaring Fork Trailhead on July 27, 2006. This is a steep trail with lots of switchbacks and stream crossings. It took us 3 hours to get to the lake and 2 to get back down. Bear and elk scat were on the trail and loads of different species of mushrooms and flowers. I recommend you take treking poles, mosquitoe repellent, food and lots of water. The lake is beautiful and is loaded with cutthroat trout! Enjoy! ...

...etite of more advanced skiers. SolVista Basin is the perfect place for kids and parents alike, as all runs lead to a single location at the base.
Your skiing adventure begins at the newly completed Base Camp Lodge. Here you can purchase lift tickets, enroll in ski school, and rent or buy the latest equipment. It also offers the perfect vantage point to watch the kids cruise down the slopes as you relax on the viewing deck. At the end of the day, the fire pit at the base of the mountain is a popular gathering place for families to share stories and enjoy a warm cup of cocoa. There's also a dining hall, Seven Trails Grille and Higher Grounds Coffee Shop to keep you fueled for your adventures.
We have totally redesigned the Base Camp Lodge! We have added 5000 sq ft to the building, expanded the deck seating by 2500 sq ft and paved the parking lot. The Children's Center, Retail Shop, Dining Hall and Rental Department are revamped for the 07-08 ski season. We are proud to announce the Seven Trails Grille opening on the first floor of the Base Camp Lodge. Seven Trails Grille is the n...

Ypsilon Lake
19 miles away
It's true. This lake is incredible for fishing probably because it is little fished. Beetle Spins not so good for us but Rooster Tails and Yo-Zuri Pin's minnow 2'' Rainbow Trout colored did the trick. Four of us went here July '09. The hike was long but worth it. Accompanied by a late morning start, it rained off and on so we didn't get to fish as much as we wanted plus the altitude got to one of us pretty badly. We're lowlanders from the South. A couple of extra-strength Tylenol, he was up and around in an hour or so. Next time we'll camp at Upper Chipmunk and each eat our fill of Trout each day. Awesome adventure!...
