We love the wildlife in and around Lake City.

Let’s welcome the newest residents of our mountains!

They are about a week old and already happy and running around! Expect for the time the one in the water got stuck in a bush. Then he cried and needed moms help! If you are lucky enough to see them, be respectful and don’t get too close! Mom didn’t mind me sitting there but that’s because I didn’t approach or make any noise the entire time I was there.

There’s always something fun going on during the summer months. Have you ever done yoga on a lake?

Mark your calendars for a Stand up Paddleboard (SUP) event next Sunday (June 12)! We are partnering with the Gunnison River Festival at Lake San Cristobal. Whether you're a beginner, expert, or never been on a board before - we can't wait to see you there.

We'll start with SUP yoga on the lake with Teslin MacLaren from Skypoint Wellness (free to attend), give out some door prizes, host a beginner's race (free entry), offer cash prizes (courtesy of Wild Bunch Guides) for the Experienced Race, and have a pirate costume contest.

All ages welcome! We will even have extra boards for newbies to try out, so it's a perfect time to see if SUPs are for you. A $15 ticket for the 1.5 mile Experienced Race includes a t-shirt, sticker, and a drawing ticket for our numerous door prizes. If you are interested in entering the race for experienced SUPs, you can pay online here:
