McIntosh Lake is a beautiful reservoir in Longmont that offers 3.5 miles of easy walking trails and fantastic views of Longs Peak and Mt. Meeker. It's popular with walkers, runners, and cyclists, as well as paddle-boarders, kayakers, canoers (only non-motorized boats are allowed). Perhaps because ban on motor boats, McIntosh Lake is a great area to see wildlife including, prairie dogs, bald eagles, pelicans, and other water birds. The Oligarchy Ditch Greenway connects to McIntosh Lake, which is a great way for cyclists to access this area.
