| | Inn Bighorn Lodge. Lost Lake is a nearby lake that you could check out, and you can take a little tour to Larimie Lake Dam if you're here at Twin Lakes. This lake is so wonderful. Go for a hike on the West Branch Trail. Having a great time at Twin Lakes is easy. A quick spree to Two and One Half Creek in close proximity to Twin Lakes is a fine idea, and Twin Lakes is a fine place to visit for more than one day, Big South Campground is a fine place to camp | |

nearby. This lake is so wonderful. Skyline Campground is a brilliant local campground; get yourself into a kayak and hit Cache La Poudre River. There's no way someone can get bored here in the Medicine Bow Mountains. Drift down
the rapids of Joe Wright Creek in a kayak, and a short spree to Poudre Falls is always worthwhile. There is a magnificent hiking trail right next door to Twin Lakes called the Green Ridge Trail, and do stop at Laramie Lake, it's a
lovely lake. This lake is one of the great places here in the Medicine Bow Mountains. Twin Lakes is a location that is pretty dehydrated generally; the month of May is the wettest with most of the rain, and January on the other hand is the driest.

Tunnel Campground
 | This has been a favorite vacation/relaxation spot for my family for many years. The popularity has grown and the campground is very busy during the summer months on weekends. There is great stream and lake fishing nearby, plenty of trails for hiking and an evening drive to Long Draw Reservoir is guaranteed to provide sightings of elk and moose. ... |
Long Draw Reservoir
 | A very nice place to go camping, hiking and fishing. The reservoir has an astonishing breathtaking view, nothing like I have ever seen before, yes that beautiful! We went the weekend of July 10th, 2009 the weather during the day is very nice and sunny avg. temp about 75 degrees, the nights however are very cold, dipping into the low 40's and 30's, so be prepared for that, we came with too little of blankets and learned that to be a big mistake. Long draw is located about 15 mi. inland from Hwy 14 just past Chambers, driving into the reservoir looks deceitful because it seems as though you are traveling into the thick of the forest with nothing but trees around, but be patient 15 mi. in you will discover the camp ground, enjoy!... |
Browns Park Campground
 | 10 miles away Drove up from Longmont, sad to see closed even after Memorial day.... |
Ypsilon Lake
 | 15 miles away It's true. This lake is incredible for fishing probably because it is little fished. Beetle Spins not so good for us but Rooster Tails and Yo-Zuri Pin's minnow 2'' Rainbow Trout colored did the trick. Four of us went here July '09. The hike was long but worth it. Accompanied by a late morning start, it rained off and on so we didn't get to fish as much as we wanted plus the altitude got to one of us pretty badly. We're lowlanders from the South. A couple of extra-strength Tylenol, he was up and around in an hour or so. Next time we'll camp at Upper Chipmunk and each eat our fill of Trout each day. Awesome adventure!... |
Worster Reservoir
 | 18 miles away Marlene. I spent several years in Laramie in the 70's and also never was aquainted with Worster Reservoir... However my interest in families was sparked when I heard the name Appleton Collins Worster who is in my family tree.
...It's named after my grandfather Appleton Collins Worster, he came here from Maine when he was young. My father and uncles grew up in the house that is on Sand Creek road, not far from reservoir....I have never heard of Worster Reservoir, please let me know where it is located.... |
Twin Lake Reservoir
 | 18 miles away 1 PHOTO The lake was very low on 6/29/08. Not sure when they let all the water out but if it was before this last winter we had... I bet it froze solid. We both fished for a while and did not see and sign of life while we were there.... |
Lost Lake
