Grateful Fisherman:
Watson is beautiful. You do need a wilderness habitat stamp to be there, but that is included with your fishing license. It is closed to boating, except float tubes. The river (poudre) runs along the east side of the lake so even for casual recreation or non fishing activities it is a picteresque spot. There are two handicapped/wheelchair accessible fishing docks, and the trail by the river is also wheelchair friendly.

If you need a site to stay The Armstrong Hotel is a fine choice; Watson Lake is wonderful enough to spend more than a day at, Laporte Koa Kampground is a wonderful local campground. If you go for the outdoors, you'll love Watson Lake.
Lakes? Sure, Horsetooth Reservoir is around here; you could always explore Empire Gulch. Yeah, come up here to the Front Range for a great time. Hiking along the Wintersteen Trail is nice fun, and why not take a little spree to Owl

All the outdoors exciting stuff in the Front Range will keep you coming back again and again. On a beautiful day you obtain a panorama of Bingham Hill from Watson Lake, and going for a hike along the Greyrock
Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this region. Summertime highs at Watson Lake usually tend to be in the 70's, and all through the night it cools down to the 40's. The wintertime comes with highs in the 30's with winter
lows in the 0's overnight here at Watson Lake. This lake is so wonderful. Watson Lake Dam is not far at all from Watson Lake; whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Cache La Poudre River - North Fork.
