Grand Lake defines the setting of Grand Lake — Colorado’s largest natural lake shapes a compact mountain town on the western side of Rocky Mountain National Park. Grand Avenue, its main street, retains a wooden boardwalk and a cluster of early-20th-century buildings, reflecting the resort community that grew beside the water. In summer, boats and paddlers use the lake; winter brings a quieter season of snow and access to backcountry terrain. The Colorado River begins in the national park nearby, while Grand Lake connects by channel to Shadow Mountain Lake.
