The campground is right on the lake and absolutely stunning! Each spot comes with a picnic table, bear safe, and campire pit. There's running water and the staff is so friendly.
So cheap too! Only $30 to reserve a spot!

Scenic view of Lake Granby, just a bit further from the town on Grand Lake, but closer to Granby! And closer to hikes in Arapaho National Forest.

Absolutely stunning hike! I highly reccomend.
It's the perfect place for all levels of hikers. You can walk around the lake or venture off onto the trails to see waterfalls, meadows, lakes, and a closer veiw of the mountains.

Beautiful trail! It has a little bit for everyone. You can walk on a path to Adams Falls, and then continue one for however long you'd like!
It's relatively flat and absolutely gorgeous!

It's the perfect place to grab a bite and then sit outside and enjoy the veiw!
If you get there early enough you can grab one of their amazing breakfast bagels. In the afternoons you can enjoy cinnamon rolls and other sweets! Vegan friendly!
