Seeing the Lake in snow was an amazing sight for an Australian unused to snow at all. The surrounding areas were also snowed and the views were enthralling. We decided to walk around the lake one day. The continual changes in aspects were wonderful and the day was thoroughly enjoyed. We stayed in Spinnaker Condos within 25metres of the lake.... More

This mountain lake is surrounded by the amazing scenery of the Rockies. Do a little parasailing in the summer or ice fishing in the winter.

Nice water body when it is full after snow run off and Denver water isn't drawing off water. The are Tikki bars in Dillon and Frisco at the Marina's. You can also rent various water craft if you don't have your own. There are also campgrounds on each side. Beautiful and relaxing...

We visit the lake often. And the county is trying hard to accommodate new activities. A place that holds close to my heart since childhood! Hope the water levels rise this year.

You dont' have to do ANYTHING just sit still and enjoy the view, or, you can ride the bike all around it, taking in the breathtaking view as you get breathless on your ride, or go sailing, hiking, have a picnic, anything, summer or winter, seems so much better with this body of water around!

Lake Dillon is a man-made reservoir. It is huge. There is a paved bike (recreation) path which goes around much of the lake (start in Frisco or Dillon) and offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. In the summer and fall, you should take the water taxi which runs between the marinas in Frisco and Dillon.

Beautiful lake framed by the Ten Mile Mountain range. Water craft rentals available. Motorized and otherwise. Food and the water's edge at the Tiki Bar. Local brews available too. You will not be disappointed. Take your bike, your stroller and good walking shoes as you will want to explore.

A great reservoir surrounded by mountains. You can sail, canoe, or pontoon it. No waterskiing or jet skis. You can also ride your bike around the lake. A great place to relax!!!

We love biking with our tandem on Lake Dillon. Their are over 200+ miles of paved paths connecting all the major ski resorts during the summer. Towns along the bike path include: Keystone village, Dillon, Frisco, Breckenridge and Silverthorne.

Dillon Reservoir and the surrounding area is beautiful year round. There are lots of things to do, or nothing to do if you choose. The water level is very low this year as it has been for the past several years, but it is still a beautiful place.
