The largest and deepest natural lake in Colorado, Grand Lake offers calm waters for boating, fishing, and kayaking. It also feeds into two much larger man-made reservoirs, Lake Granby and Shadow Mountain Lake. These three bodies of water, along with Monarch Lake and Willow Creek and Meadow Creek reservoirs, are called the "Great Lakes of Colorado."

Union Reservoir

One of only a few natural lakes in Colorado, this 736-acre body of water is known as one of the best windsurfing spots on the Front Range, with easy waterfront access. It's also quickly becoming one of Colorado’s finest walleye fishing spots. Rent paddleboards and kayaks, swim, or watch dogs swim---the reservoir has one of the biggest dog swim beaches in northern Colorado.
