This lake is one of the great places here in the Sawatch Range. So much entertaining stuff to do here in the Sawatch Range, too tremendous to be true. Going for a hike along the Main Range Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this vicinity, and dry warm beds await you at The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch. This lake is so wonderful. In the event that you don’t have a problem getting soaked, you can always go whitewater paddling on Lake Creek, and if you need a location to stay Super 8 Motel - Leadville is a nice choice.
You're sure to stumble upon some fine folks from Edwards here; Pear Lake is a nearby lake that you could visit.
