If you don’t have a problem getting wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Sweetwater Creek, and probably you're looking for nearby lakes? Sure, Trappers Lake is just a very short distance away. This lake is so wonderful. Trapline Campground is a magnificent local campground. | |

You imagine that's enough? Just getting warmed up. A pleasant tour to Amphitheatre is a nice way to spend an afternoon, and Oak Tree Inn Yampa is a great place to get some rest. Looking for some flowing water? Try Fraser Creek,
and going for a hike on the Ute Trail is always a good adventure. You could also stop at Crescent Lake since you're here at Scotts Lake; it's close by, and there are wonderful places to look at along the South Derby Trail. Why not
camp at Bucks Campground if you're here at Scotts Lake; there is a great hiking trail nearby called the Oyster Lake Trail.

 | I've been going to Yampa since I was around 5 years of age. I'm not usually too keen on seeing new hotels being established in sleepy mountain towns, but The Oak Tree Inn is an exception. It's a welcome addition to this amazing little town and a great retreat when the snows come.... |
