   It's a glorious idea to check out Meadow Creek, it's in the vicinity of Rainbow Lake, and why not stop at Frisco Bay also since you're here.
For you golfers we recommend close by Breckenridge Golf Club, and Gold Pan Campground is a fine local campground. Whitewater paddling is great on Arkansas River. The slopes of Breckenridge are so inviting nobody can resist, and the Miners Creek Trail is a magnificent hiking trail nearby.
This lake is so wonderful.
 
               In case you don’t have a problem getting soaked, you can always go whitewater paddling on Tenmile Creek; lots of people from Silverthorne come here. A picturesque lake like Bills Ranch Lake right next door to Rainbow Lake is a nice place to stop at, and Rainbow Lake is a pleasant location to visit for more than one day, Pine Cove Campground is a pleasant location to camp nearby.
