    great little town, perfect weather in the hot summer to escape to. Surf Hotel is a wonderful option to stay and walk to downtown for restaurants and bars. Would recommend if you like to do outdoor...

    Love that are no motor boats allowed. It has a very peaceful vibe. There are no motorized vehicles causing wakes and being loud. A little crowed.

    Cottonwood lake has several lakes. Fishing was good, trails were great and fresh air is outstanding. Beautiful scenery and friendly people, standard Colorado!

    Parking. Lots of shoreline access. Great for kayaking and paddle boarding. Dogs allowed. Swimming allowed but COLD!! It can get very windy here. And evil fisherman leave their lines and hooks behind... Kept pretty clean, I didn't see any trash, but I did almost step on a hook! 😠
