Rainbow Lake Trail

The Trail
This easy trail is only a mile long with a 170 foot elevation change. It is a great little excursion for even very young children with an alluring lake to explore at the end.

The trail starts from a dirt parking lot and is well marked with signs. The trailhead is the same as that for the Peaks Trail.


The trail crosses shallow stream areas and runs along the stream in places. There is a good amount of shade along the way too.


The lake itself has a couple easily accessible banks: one on the west side and one on the south. The trail wraps part way around the lake and continues on.


This trail allows leashed dogs.

Directions
This trail is located in Frisco, Colorado. To get there, take I-70 to Main St. in Frisco. Take exit 201 and head east on Main Street.
