Snowmobiling Grand Lake!
Grand Lake boasts over 150 miles of groomed
trails in the
Arapahoe National Forest, rated by some as the
best trails in North America. Connecting trails can lead
you to the open frozen spaces of Grand Lake, Shadow Mountain
Lake and Lake Granby.
All trails lead to town, and Grand Lake is
one of the few that allow snowmobiles
in town for convenient
access to
restaurants, shopping and nightclubs.
