McIntosh Lake

McIntosh Lake offers 3.5 miles of easy walking trails and beautiful views of the Rocky Mountains, most notably Longs Peak and Mt. Meeker. It's also a great area to see prairie dogs, bald eagles, pelicans and other wildlife. McIntosh Lake is a reservoir and as such is part of the statewide ditch and reservoir system. Each year, the water level in Lake McIntosh is dependent on system-wide priorities and weather factors such as snow pack and precipitation.
