One of the three lakes located in the Tri-Lakes area, this lake is the northernmost and is situated in the town of Palmer Lake. There's a pleasant trail encircling the lake, where you'll often find people fishing and enjoying the surroundings. If you plan to fish here, be sure to have your Colorado State fishing license.
