As the largest lake situated entirely on Colorado soil, it should come as no surprise that this reservoir has plenty of opportunities for fun in the sun. The entire lake is almost 20-miles long, which means you will have no problem finding a place to go swimming. Dry Creek, Old Highway 50 Beach, and Bay of Chickens are just a few spots where the waters are calm and shallow enough for you to dive in. There is a wealth of other things to do here, like horseback riding, hiking, windsurfing, and even fishing. You can even camp on-site if you are looking to spend a few relaxing days chilling by the lake.
