フラットトップスの湖・トップ5

This 350-acre reservoir is part of Rifle Gap State Park and provides some of Colorado's best boating, fishing, swimming and windsurfing. There is also a campground along the northern shore of the reservoir.

This section of the trail is absolutely stunning. To the north you follow Fraser Creek through a picturesque mountain valley to Trappers Lake, and to the south the trail wind past alpine lakes with views of Trappers Peak and the surrounding moutnains.
