If you’re the kind of person who feels most alive with fresh mountain air in your lungs and the sound of the river rushing by, Settlers Creek is the perfect place to call home. From serene mornings on the water to thrilling afternoons on the trail, our vibrant Colorado community is surrounded by outdoor adventures that make every season unforgettable.
Here are some of our favorite ways to get outside and experience it all:
Just a short drive (or peddle) away, you’ll find pristine lakes and rivers perfect for fishing and paddleboarding. Whether you’re hoping to reel in trout at Dillon Reservoir or glide across the glassy water on your paddleboard, you’ll have countless spots to launch your next excursion.
Even better - early mornings on the lake are peaceful and beautiful. Spending time outdoors is a great way to unwind before the workday begins.
If you prefer your water activities with a bit more adrenaline, you’re in luck. Colorado’s reservoirs and rivers offer the chance to try water skiing, wakeboarding, and tubing. Gather your friends, pack up the cooler, and spend the day making memories on the water.
Research water safety tips and guidelines beforehand – especially if you’re new to water sports. Articles like this are an amazing place to start before planning your next adventure.
For those craving true adventure, river rafting is a must. The nearby Arkansas River is world-renowned for its whitewater stretches, with options for both beginners and experienced rafters. Prefer a calmer float? Tubing local river sections is a laid-back way to soak up the sunshine and scenery.
