Lake San Cristobal
Lake City’s namesake was formed hundreds of
years ago by a rare natural earthflow called the
Slumgullion Slide when it blocked the Lake Fork
of the Gunnison River. The second-largest
natural lake in Colorado, reaching depths of up
to 60 feet, Lake San Cristobal offers more than
just a name. In addition to a boat ramp, other
recreational opportunities at the lake include:
Fishing from both shore and boat
Wupperman Campground
Red Mountain Gulch Day Use Area
Wildlife Viewing at the Lake
