is a location that is relatively arid commonly; May is the wettest month with most rain, and January is the month with the least moisture. Yep, outdoors cool things to do are truly bountiful here at Peterson Lake. Don't leave
Peterson Lake without first going for a hike along the Zimmerman Trail, and if you come at the right time of year, Joe Wright Creek offers some great whitewater. Do set aside some time for Corral Park since you're here at Peterson
Lake; there are wonderful places to explore along the Corral Park Trail. This lake is so wonderful. Some of the water nearby flows, like Willow Creek, and after a long day outdoors Peak To Peak Lodge Inc. is a brilliant place to spend a night or two.

Long Draw Reservoir
 | 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
 | 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. ... |
