   at Placid Lake; the wettest month of the year is frequently August, that's the one that rains the most, and the driest month is November. So much cool stuff in the Front Range, just tremendous. Blue Arrow Campground is a great campground nearby, and obviously, A tour to Black Canyon is always fun. Life's too short to enjoy all the fun stuff right next door to Placid Lake. Don't leave Placid Lake without first going for a hike along the Cow Creek Trail. Lakes? Sure,

Beaver Brook is a stream that you may come across during your stay, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Saint Vrain Creek - North. This lake is so wonderful. A tremendous vista of beautiful Castle Mountain is available from Placid Lake, and while you're here at Placid Lake, checking out The Needles is a must.

What a spot this is for outdoors folks. Get your pulse rate up on the perfect whitewater of Cache La Poudre River - South Fork. And that's not all there is to do here in the Front Range. If you want to play some golf, you're in luck because Estes Valley Recreation District Estes Park Golf Club is around here; since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always pop by nearby Cascade Lake.
