Lake City has been visited over the years by people who raised their children along the streams, on the trails, and bouncing over the old mining roads.
They sought the cool mountain climate, abundant trout, and wilderness adventures on horseback or Jeep. The children grew, and they brought their children to Lake City, generation after generation.
That tradition continues today, in a town that contains one of the most authentic National Historic Districts in the state of Colorado, and which sits at the junction of two National Byways.
Surrounded by four National Wilderness Areas, lakes, streams, trails, and miles of public lands, outdoor recreation is a way of life in Lake City. You can easily fish, hike, camp, take scenic drives, and watch the wildlife.
Lake City offers a historic mine tour, local history museum, walking tours, a vibrant arts community and numerous special events. This tiny renaissance occurs in the most remote county in the lower 48 states, on the frontier of what is still wilderness, even today.
