Vallecito Lake Colorado Tourism

Vallecito Lake is considered one of Colorado’s most beautiful mountain lake resorts. This postcard perfect area offers a wide variety of recreational opportunities and excellent facilities. With a multitude of cabins, resorts, motels, RV parks, campgrounds, restaurants and lounges you’re in the heart of the San Juan Mountains in the comfort you desire.

Boating, horseback riding, hiking, jeeping or a little relaxing on the front porch – it’s a way of life at Vallecito Lake. Easy access to the San Juan National Forest and Weminuche Wilderness Area puts it all at your fingertips.

Fishing you ask? How about the state record for Northern Pike (30 pounds, 1 ounce - 48-1/4 inches) and former record German Brown Trout (24 pounds, 10 ounces - 37-1/2 inches). Full service marinas can outfit you with boats, motors, bait and even party barges.
In the fall, aspens turn gold, the scrub oak burns red and the first snows dot the peaks. It’s a great season to spend time in the mountains. The San Juan Mountains boast some of the best big game hunting in the United States.

Winter activities include spectacular cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, sleigh riding and peaceful relaxation. Choose any season. There’s always a reason to come to Vallecito Lake!
