     Have a brilliant hiking adventure along the Hot Creek Stock Driveway; if you get bored of Spencer Lake you could also pop by close by Little Brown Lake. Spencer Lake mostly gets lots of rain; most of the snow falls throughout March; the driest month of the year is June. And if that's not enough there's a heap more cool things to do in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. Take a hike on the Alamosa River Trail, and dry warm beds await you at Best Western Movie Manor.
 
   Big Lake is a nearby lake that you could pop by, and a nice site for whitewater paddling is Conejos River. Summertime at Spencer Lake arrives with high temperatures in the 60's. Summer overnight lows descend down to the 40's. The wintertime comes with highs in the 30's, and through the dark hours in the wintertime at Spencer Lake temperatures dip to the 0's. Just can't get enough of the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. If you need a place to stay Budget Host  
               Monte Villa Inn Monte Vista is a tremendous choice, and a pleasant place nearby is Rough Canyon.
This lake is so wonderful. Why not camp at Comstock Campground since you're here at Spencer Lake. All the outdoors entertaining stuff right next door to Spencer Lake will keep you coming back persistently. While you're here at Spencer Lake you can take a hike along the North Fork Dry Creek Trail; there's some flowing water close by, Beaver Creek is a stream you can take a look at during your stay.

Bear Lake Trail
Bear Lake was surely a disappointment! I'd heard it had good fishing, but after puffing up a long, steep, and confusing trail (we lost our way more than once, delaying our arrival about an hour) we found the lake nearly dry; muddy, and infested with mosquitoes! Next time I'll save myself the bother and fish the Conejos. ...

Spruce Hole Trail
14 miles away
While I have not had the pleasure of hiking any of its trails yet, I look forward to camping in this area. I ''scouted'' the dirt road into the Spruce Hole exit off of the main road. It is very lovely through this piece of wilderness. Lots of healthy pines, wildflowers, and plenty of wildlife too. Sorry I don't have any pictures, but if you're thinking about camping or hiking here... I highly suggest that you do!...

Trujillo Meadows Campground
17 miles away
In the 16 years that I have lived in the area, there has never been white water ( for rafting, canoeing, kayaking etc. I presume) in the Brazos. I think you are referring to the Chama River which starts in the Colorado San Juans and flows through New Mexico into the Rio Grande in Espanola ,NM. Plenty of white water there in the spring time....You seem to have missed letting people know about the great trout fishing at Trujillo Meadows. I have never been there that I haven't hooked a big one....

Lost Lake
