Jackson Lake, Colorado

Colorado isn’t just all mountains, ya know? East of Denver lies the high plains and there you’ll find Jackson Lake, dubbed an “oasis.” And an oasis it is! With one of the best state park beaches in America you can escape the summer heat at their kick-butt swimming beach or troll the waters by boat for the perfect swimming cove or summer cutie! Break a sweat by taking your off road vehicle down the awesome OHV trails or fish from the pier for your dinner. Camps are comfy for a few people or big groups and you can even tie the knot here! You may be in the high desert out here at Jackson Lake, but you’ll have all kinds of fun knowing you already found paradise.
