People of all generations love this place! Who wouldn’t? The best play ground with the best view, all within spaces for picnic or transition to what ever concert is playing at the Amphitheater! This play area is known to encourage all levels of activities for kids of different abilities. This is where to bring your kids before bed time, then a warm bath. Nothing like plain old climbing, exploring, swinging, spinning fun.

Staying in Summit County fo the summer and wanted to get a different view of the surroundings. We did a 2 hour pontoon boat rental from Dillon Marina and it was great. The online sign up was easy and the folks on the phone very helpful. Parking is right next to the Marina. Very clean restrooms and a snack bar style restaurant on site. We cruised the whole lake in 2 hours including a nice 30 minute siesta for snacks and pictures in the Snake River branch. Just be aware that you can not island hop or go in the narrows around the islands. All shore contact except the docks at Dillon and Frisco is not allowed. Also I would recommend going early in the day as when weather happens it is usually in the afternoon. Take jackets and maybe a blanket anyway just in case. All in all great fun for couples, a family and friends and the Marina staff are totally helpful.

I went on this hike in mid-morning with my wife and 2 daughters (10 & 8). This ended up being one of our favorite hikes we did on our trip to Colorado due to the beautiful scenery all of the way up to the lake. The was a little complaining from the kids due to the length of the hike, but they made it to the lake and were quite happy. As others have said, the trip is over 4 miles one way. It is uphill the entire way up and the incline definitely increases for the last half mile. I would say just pace yourself which is easy to do. There are several meadows with wildflowers and a stream which beg for you to take a moment and relax, drink some water, eat a snack and embrace the fact that you are in such an amazing natural setting. Plenty of parking was available. Take a hat and sunscreen as there is a lot of time spent in the sun.
