Welcome to Lake City, CO!

Once a mining town in the 1800s, Lake City is now a hub of activity for all ages. Situated in southwestern Colorado, the town is only 256 mi (411 km) away from the capital of Denver. A cool, dry climate accompanies the sunshine for approximately 300 days of the year, making it easy to enjoy the outdoors. Visitors can escape city life at Lake San Cristobal through numerous fishing spots and water sports with a boat rental from the Lakeview Marina. Throughout the summer, all-terrain adventures can be enjoyed on an ATV acquired from Alpine Rentals, LLC.The Lake City Ski Hill can be experienced during the winter months. Mountain biking, snowmobiling and camping are also popular activities in this Rocky Mountain region.
