Family Friendly It's an easy out-and-back from the parking area

Overview

This trail leads you around one of Steamboat's gems.

Need to Know

There is a $10 vehicle fee

Description

This gentle rolling trail circles one of Steamboat's most beautiful lakes. Most pay the vehicle entry fee and start from the parking lot, but if you're looking for a longer hike, you can catch the Pearl Lake Trail on Coulton Creek Road east of the lake.

Good for families, the Pearl Lake Trail offers many opportunities to wade into the 167-acre reservoir or just sit and take in the views.

Flora & Fauna

The lake is a gold-medal fishing spot for cutthroat trout. Birds include osprey, great blue herons, woodpeckers, and greater sandhill cranes. Flora includes aspens, marshes, sagebrush, and pines.
