Going for a hike on the Blanco River Trail is always a fine adventure; why not camp at Acres Green RV Park since you're here at Sappington Reservoir.
This lake is so wonderful. A lake nearby is Twin Lakes, and dry warm beds await you at Holiday Inn Express Pagosa Springs, Co. This is no site for
 
   people who don’t like to have a good time. There's no such thing as a bad day of skiing at nearby Wolf Creek, and there are splendid spots to explore along the Leche Creek Trail. Just can't get enough of the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. In the event that you don’t have a problem getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Rio Blanco; Best Western Jicarilla Inn is a pleasant location to get some rest.
