<h2>Things To Do in Grand Lake</h2>
Grand Lake is the perfect place for your next adventure. Make it your home base for exploring Rocky Mountain National Park via <a href="https://gograndlake.com/trail-ridge-road/?utm_source=cto&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=city_page">Trail Ridge Road</a>, which crosses the Continental Divide on its way to Estes Park. Enjoy endless hiking trails and try your hand at watersports like kayaking, paddleboarding and boating throughout the summer season. And fish the many streams, rivers and lakes all year long. As you adventure, keep an eye out for <a href="https://gograndlake.com/wildlife-in-rocky-mountain-national-park/?utm_source=cto&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=city_page">wildlife</a> like elk and moose.
<a href="https://gograndlake.com/grand-lake/?utm_source=cto&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=city_page">Grand Lake</a> sits at the base of Rocky Mountain National Park with the historical town on its shores. Visitors can enjoy renting boats, pedal boats, kayaks and paddleboards from several marinas and local businesses right on the water. Bring your beach towels; kids of all ages love hanging out at the Town Beach — one of Colorado’s few sandy beaches. Grab lunch from one of the many local restaurants. Or pack a picnic and pick a lake: Along with Grand Lake, you’ll have plenty to choose from nearby, including <a href="https://gograndlake.com/shadow-mountain-reservoir/?utm_source=cto&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=city_page">Shadow Mountain Lake</a>, <a href="https://gograndlake.com/lake-granby/?utm_source=cto&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=city_page">Lake Granby</a> and others.
