Score4.2Small alpine lakeshore near Fairplay offering wide reflective water, marshy foregrounds, distant basin-and-mountain vistas and big Colorado skies.

Access is roadside with limited parking and few facilities — check local weather, arrive early on weekends, and allow time to acclimate to altitude.
