    Swamp Lakes is a great lake in an area with lots of outdoors fun all around. This lake is so wonderful. Paddling on Lake Creek is so much fun, and glorious hiking is available along the Main Range Trail. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy this place. The peak of Bald Eagle Mountain can be made out from Swamp Lakes, and dry warm beds await you at Super 8 Motel - Leadville. All year is a splendid time in the Sawatch Range if you like the outdoors. The snow is  
   glorious at Ski Cooper, and there are great sites to discover along the Highline Trail.
This lake is one of the great places here in the Sawatch Range. Man, is there loads of amusing stuff to do next to Swamp Lakes. Stay the night at Elbert Creek Campground; why not spend some time golfing at a nearby golf course like MT Massive Golf Course.
Get covered with water paddling on Arkansas River; if you need a place to stay The Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch is
 
               a great choice. Swamp Lakes is pretty dehydrated usually; during August this area sees the most rain while February is regularly the driest month. Native Lake is a nearby lake that you could stop at; a pleasant journey to Kearney Park is a splendid way to spend an afternoon.
Life's too short to enjoy all the cool stuff in the Sawatch Range. Swamp Lakes is a location with many visitors from Edwards; if you get bored of Swamp Lakes you could also have a look at nearby Hidden Lakes. The warmest time of the year brings highs in the 70's to Swamp Lakes while night lows are mostly in the 40's. Highs through the winter are frequently in the 30's; winter nights come with lows in the 0's to Swamp Lakes. This lake is so wonderful. Swamp Lakes is a fine place to visit for more than one day, Mary Queen Campground is a fine place to camp nearby; don't leave Swamp Lakes without first going for a hike along the Mount Massive Trail.

Now the resort consists of not only an incredible mountain, but multiple villages, hundreds of buildings and a million other tangible, moving pieces. Copper is, and always has been, bigger than the tangible. Copper is about people. It’s about spirit. It’s about attitude, passion, heart, guest loyalty and financial strength. It’s about a place that provides a true connection to nature, adventure, the mountain, the community and the mountain lifestyle, void of any pretense. It’s a place, most of all, intent on allowing guests to push their proverbial ‘play button. ’
