GRAND LAKE

A Rocky Mountain Getaway

The quaint village of Grand Lake is situated on the serene shores of the largest natural lake in Colorado, surrounded by majestic mountain peaks. With the breathtaking backdrop of Rocky Mountain National Park, Grand Lake, Colorado, is the ideal basecamp for outdoor adventure, family fun and mountain memories in the making.

Take a stroll along the historic, Western-style boardwalk. Enjoy an ice cream cone on the beach. Search our locally owned and operated shops and galleries for the perfect souvenir. Explore hundreds of miles of scenic trails for hiking, biking, xc skiing, and snowshoeing. Party like a local at our events, such as our lakefront music festivals, parades, fireworks displays, and annual Buffalo Days. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife sightings, especially the moose that sometimes wander right into town. Whether you’re pumped for a day of high-adrenaline adventure, pining for a romantic weekend getaway in a cozy cabin, or planning a week of unplugged pastimes for the whole family, you’re in the right place.
