Lake City, Colorado The Official Tourism Page of Lake City and Hinsdale County, Colorado. The lure is different for each and every one of us . . . American Basin in full bloom.
(482)

Endless vistas of rugged peaks from the top of a “Fourteener” world. Fish-filled mountain lakes, rivers, creeks and reservoirs. Foot, hoof, and motorized treks that promise treasured memories and spur further exploration. Encompassing more than one thousand square miles of untamed beauty, Hinsdale County stands unrivaled when outdoor recreation, unique geology, wildflowers, abundant wildlife, and

historic significance come into play. An endless list of “ah-factors” includes 96% public land, five Colorado Fourteeners, four wilderness areas, two national byways, breathtaking waterfalls and four-wheel drive roads, ghost towns, year-round trails, a backcountry haute route and yurt system, and one of the most authentic national historic districts in Colorado. Staying true to its late 1800s “mining boom” status as the area’s supply and service center, Lake City is now the everything-you-need hub for amazing hiking, climbing, fishing, hunting, boating, four-wheeling, mountain biking, horseback riding, camping, and sightseeing adventures. With its special welcoming, pioneer-town feel, Lake City is also a vacation destination on its own, featuring family-oriented celebrations and year-round festivals, theatrical performances, historical tours and presentations, in-town trails and recreation, and shopping enhanced by the wares of many talented local artisans.

Ever seen walls of frozen ice? Here in Lake City, we climb them.

The ice is forming at Lake City Ice Park, and we're excited to announce that WE'RE OPEN and ready to welcome climbers back for another season. Located steps from historic downtown, the park will feature over 100 routes once fully formed. Whether you're here to climb or simply marvel at the ice, this winter wonderland awaits.

Winter brings a special kind of quiet to Lake City. ❄️ Snow-capped peaks, starlit nights, and crowd-free trails remind us why our hidden corner of Colorado remains pure mountain magic. While the ski hill isn’t quite open yet and the trails aren’t ready to ride, these photos from previous winters are exactly why you should be planning your winter getaway now.

Looking good at Lake City Ice Climbs! 🤍 It’s time to climb!

⚠️ US50 will be open 24/7 with pilot operations for all traffic on October 16th! ⚠️

🚧 PROJECT UPDATE 🚧 | US 50 Middle Bridge in Gunnison opens to all traffic Oct. 16

The bridge will be opening to all vehicles on Oct. 16 with flaggers directing traffic from 6 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. seven days a week. Final construction activities will continue during overnight hours, from 11:30 p.m. to 6 a.m., and late-night travelers can expect longer wait times, similar to what they have been encountering at the Lake Fork Bridge.

🔔The remaining construction activity will prepare the bridge for normal, two-way traffic, with both lanes open, ahead of winter. This is the last major milestone to restoring normal travel along US 50 between Gunnison and Montrose.

🚗The US 50 Lake Fork Bridge is also open to all vehicles. Repair work continues with flaggers directing traffic from 6 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. seven days a week. Overnight hours will continue as weather permits and drivers can expect longer wait times to cross the bridge from 11:30 p.m. to 6 a.m.
