Need to Know

Limited parking. No other facilities. Trail is well known and used (appears on AllTrails.com) but does not appear on USFS maps. When hiked in 2020, there were no indications of USFS discouraging the use of this trail, but also no official trail numbers or route markings. The trail is easy to follow. As of July 2023, USFS was seen doing trail maintenance - a bridge install near the lake.

Description

Parking is limited on the road along the south side of Lake Granby, and the trailhead marking is obscure or absent. Trail is steep at first, then less so as it follows the creek to a saddle and a trail intersection. Turn left and hike a short distance to a boardwalk into the large meadow and view of the lake with the continental divide in the background.

Note to editors - as of July 2023 there was an active USFS coordinated trail work to install a small bridge near the lake - definitely a real trail. 3.4mi
