A great hike that follows some of the Continental Divide Trail and the Colorado Trail. Areas for dispersed camping along the lake, put in for boats & fishing. It's a rather level 2 - 2.5 mile hike following the lake shore to the historic Interlaken site with a great mountain view for a payoff at the end. Bring lunch to picnic in the field.
