Pearl Lake State Park, nestled in the mountains north of Steamboat Springs, offers peace and quiet in a lush forest setting. Surrounded by towering pines, visitors camp along the lake and up a gentle hill, which is deep in the cozy woods. Excellent fly and lure fishing is available at the park where native cutthroat trout flash their red throats when pulled from the water.
Pearl Lake is open for camping, fishing, picnics and hiking.
Directions - from Steamboat Springs, go west two miles on U.S. 40 to County Road 129, then turn right. Go north 23 miles to Pearl Lake Road, turn east and drive the final two miles to the park.
