     Spotted Lake is a location that is rather dried out ordinarily; July is the wettest month with most rain, and the driest month is June. If you came for an overnight stay Broken Arrow Ranch is a perfect spot to camp, and on a delightful day you get a tremendous vista of Mount Hope from Spotted Lake. That right there is lots of enjoyable things already but it goes on, the San Juan and Jemez Mountains has it all. If you need a spot to stay OakRidge Lodge is a fine  
   choice, and paddling on Wolf Creek is so much fun.
For the period of the months of summer at Spotted Lake highs are frequently in the 70's. When the night sets in temperatures sink down into the 30's. The wintertime comes with highs in the 20's, and during the dark hours in the wintertime at Spotted Lake temperatures fall to the-10's. This lake is so wonderful. And that's not all you can do here at Spotted Lake. Go for a hike on the Highline Trail, unsurprisingly
 
               you could also check out Archuleta Lake since you're here; it's not far at all.
Good hiking is available along the Windy Pass Trail, and probably you're looking for close by lakes? Sure, Spruce Lake Number 1 is just a very short distance away. Spotted Lake is one of the lakes here in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. This lake is so wonderful. Hiking is a popular thing to do around Spotted Lake; Treasure Mountain Trail is a glorious local trail, and float down the rapids of San Juan River - East Fork in a kayak.
You'll really wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the cool things in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. After a long day outdoors Holiday Inn Express PAGOSA SPRINGS is a brilliant place to spend a night or two, and why not camp at West Fork Campground while you're here at Spotted Lake.

I am a very close relative of the land owners for a significant portion of the East Fork. There is a couple of miles of river that is private land. Using the river or the land without authorization is tresspassing and is illegal. I am by no means giving you permission to use it. I am simply stating the facts. Please respect the property line and stay on public lands. Other than that enjoy your time in CO and happy rafting....
