Wellington Lake

Colorado may be a land-locked state, but that shouldn't stop anyone from enjoying the water! Wellington Lake Road is located in Pike National Forest and offers a beautiful drive through the Colorado forest that pays off at the end with a lake that is open to the public. Wellington Lake itself is a 167-acre body of water that is privately owned. The centerpiece is "The Castle" rock formation that stands as the major feature of the lake. For a fee, camping, fishing, paddleboards and more are available to visitors. Don't miss this charming trail that runs through the Colorado forest with a scenic landmark that's bound to impress you.
