Grand Lake is Colorado's largest natural lake measuring 400 feet deep, 1.5 miles long and 1 mile wide. This lake, along with Shadow Mountain, Willow Creek and Granby Reservoirs create a fisherman's paradise with over 150 miles of shoreline. Grand Lake is located at the beginning of Trail Ridge Road at the western Gateway of Rocky Mountain National Park in the town of Grand Lake.
Grand Lake is filled with rainbow, brook, mackinaw, cutthroat trout, and large kokanee salmon. The nearby rivers and streams are also a very popular place for catch and release fly-fishing. Connected to Grand Lake is Shadow Mountain Lake, carrying a good supply of brown trout, rainbow trout, and salmon.
Grand Lake also offers a swim beach and a boat ramp. There are no restrictions on boats at Grand Lake, and it is known as the world's highest yacht anchorage. The boat ramp is located at the southeast side of the lake and can be accessed by traveling south on Highway 278.
