I like a river not a lake. I do enjoy the ducks and geese, but don't go down there much. Lakes just don't attract me, I prefer my favorite camping place in California with a river and fabulous waterfall.
Great time, came to visit from Texas, spent half a day here, took a ride on a paddle boat. Very relaxing
We have been ice skating at Evergreen Lake before and loved it. Our daughter wanted to try it at night for her 16th birthday. We called the hotline to make sure the weather allowed them to be open. The hotline said they were open for skating all day (10am to 8pm). We called again at 5:00 before leaving Denver (hotline said they were still open for skating) only to be told when we arrived at 6:45 that they would be closing in 10 minutes. Needless to say, the hotline is not the most reliable. We expressed our disappointment and the manager gave us free passes for our trouble, but that hardly made up for the rough drive in snowy weather & ruined a 16th birthday excursion.We probably won't attempt night skating again unless they figure out a better way to keep their hotline updated. Guess we were supposed to continuously call on our way up.
This lake is nestled in between mountains and offers a view from any angle - you can ice skate in the winter, kayak or paddle boat all summer, fish, hike, take the kids for a picnic, dogs are allowed, you name it Evergreen offers it.
This lake is beautiful. The elk watching is amazing! Warm days are perfect for SUPing, kayaking, paddle boating or just taking a walk. A perfect summer eve is if you go eat across the street at Willow Creek then take a walk at the lake. Winter skating is great!
I venture to the lake often for a walk from my house. Ice skating is fun but it is a bit expensive. I would never walk across the lake on the ice because people have died falling through the ice. In the summer it is fun to go paddle boarding on the lake. I wished that the ethnic people from down the hill would stop littering around the lake with fish hooks and trash. It is our town so keep it clean. The Lake House is a beautiful place for a wedding.
Located not far from Denver, weenjoyed the walk around the lake. A leisurely stroll takes about 45 minutes. There is a groomed path and places to sit and talk.
Downtown Evergreen and surrounding area is beautiful, clean and friendly. Gorgeous scenery at 7,000 ft in town and cute little restaurants with good food is a big draw. The in town Highland Haven Inn is worth every penny not that it's super expensive. Driving distance to Golden, about 90 minutes from the Denver airport. It's beautiful. The stream in town is so pretty and the walk around Lake Evergreen is very nice. The dry weather winter or summer is a big plus for me. Winter is snowy, if you're renting a car make sure to get AWD. One of the prettiest little towns in Colorado I've been to.
No matter what time of the year, enjoy Evergreen Lake's boating, fishing, and extraordinary ice skating activities. Take long walks around the lake. Watch the Elk seemingly walk-on-water as they tip toe across Upper Bear Creek, the creek that feeds the lake coming down from Mt Evans. Gorgeous log day lodge supports the activities, perfect for weddings and other events. There are outdoor summertime concert series every other Wednesday. Evergreen Golf Course and restaurant are right next door and incredible bars and restaurants like Willow Creek, the famous Little Bear and Cactus Jacks are just minutes away around the lake or on the other side of the dam. Evergreen is a perfect destination with a multitude of activities to enjoy all year long. Easy access from I-70 and 25 minutes from Downtown Denver.
Great place for a walk when you don't have time for a hike! The lake and it's surroundings are beautiful. 14 of our family members just took a walk around the Lake on Thanksgiving weekend, all had a great time ages 3 to 71! We had a great surprise when Santa came by to ask what the children wanted from Santa! When visiting in the summer, you can paddle boat, canoe or paddle board! In the Winter grab your ice skates! In the Fall watch out for the Elk!
