Steamboat Lake, Colorado Destination For Travel Tuesday
I hope your New Year is off to a fantastic start. This week Travel Tuesday takes a peek at Steamboat Lake, Colorado.
Kayaks parked for the night a campfire started for dinner and s’mores.
Lake surface smooth as glass.
I can’t wait for warmer weather and camping/RVing. We have to make our reservations six months in advance to get spots in Colorado’s State Parks. So guess what I’ve been doing? LOL We spend most of our weekends from spring to fall traveling around in search of a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. This year I thought it’d be nice to share the places that we’ve enjoyed.
Steamboat Lake is one of the true jewels of Colorado. Steamboat Lake State Park has something special for everyone. Whatever your preference, well-deserved relaxation and recreation awaits you. We love kayaking on the lake. Especially along the no wake areas. Early morning and at dusk, you can find an amazing amount of wildlife lakeside in the deep grass or on the shore.. Blue Herons, ducks, a variety of fish, and river otters just to name a few.
Hahn’s, Peak frames the breathtaking scenery of Steamboat Lake State Park offering family fishing, camping, picnicking, trail and boat recreational opportunities. A full-service marina and swim beach provide amenities for active water play.
Several campgrounds inside the state park provide a relaxing area, and great views around the lake offering a spectacular opportunity to immerse yourself in the clean, crisp air and true Rocky Mountain living.
Winter comes alive with snowmobiling, ice fishing, and peaceful cross-country skiing or snow-shoeing in a valley surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Ten camper cabins down by the marina welcome adventurers for a cozy night.

Visions of camping are dancing in my head too. Can’t wait to make it to Colorado. D.
You gotta let me know when you plan to visit Colorado. We must get together. Thanks for stopping in Donna!
I cannot wait to travel again, Tena! Enjoyed your post and pictures.
Thank you Mary. At least with an RV travel is safe for the most part. We have several trips planned though they will probably be mostly in Colorado. One to Wyoming and one to AZ. Not far. Thanks for stopping in!
I want COVID to be over so I can travel again! I’m glad you aren’t letting COVID stop you!
A lot of people don’t believe me when I say I’ve never been on a vacation. We’ve traveled to funerals and weddings, but then came straight back. The only time I’m away from home is when I read a book or see a blog like yours. Thanks for posting them.
Loved the post, Tena! I used to camp when I wasn’t in a wheelchair, and those pictures brought back wonderful memories. Thank You!
