   Placid Lake gets very little rain; August is the wettest month with most rain, and November is when it's the driest. If you came for an overnight stay Blue Arrow Campground is a nice site to camp, and going for a hike on the Cow Creek Trail is always a nice adventure. This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Saint Vrain Creek - North, and close by you find the Deer Mountain Trail which is a great  
               hiking trail.
