Twin Lakes Dispersed
Granite, Colorado11 Reviews33 Photos613 SavesWelcome to Twin Lakes Dispersed, a hidden gem nestled in the mountains of Colorado. This spot is perfect for those who crave a bit of adventure and don't mind roughing it. The area is right by the water, offering stunning views of the lake and surrounding wilderness. It's a fantastic place for biking and hiking, with trails like the Interlaken Trailhead and the Colorado Trail nearby.
One thing to keep in mind is that this place can get pretty busy, especially on weekends and holidays. If you're looking for some peace and quiet, try to visit during the off-season or weekdays. The sites are close together, so privacy can be a bit of an issue when it's crowded.
The road getting in is rough, so take it slow and steady, especially if you're not in a 4x4. But trust me, the effort is worth it. Once you're there, you'll find a friendly community of campers and some of the best views around. Just remember, there are no amenities like drinking water, toilets, or trash services, so come prepared and pack out what you pack in.
Fishing and kayaking are popular activities here, but make sure you have the necessary permits. Fires are allowed, but always check for fire bans before you go. Pets are welcome, so feel free to bring your furry friends along for the adventure.
In short, Twin Lakes Dispersed is a fantastic spot for those who love nature and don't mind a bit of a challenge. Enjoy the beautiful scenery, the friendly atmosphere, and the endless opportunities for outdoor fun.

The road climbs past Bakers Tank to the summit of Boreas Pass at the Continental Divide. The road then continues down the other side of Boreas Pass for another 10.4 miles to the town of Como in Park County. From 1872 to 1938 the road was used as a narrow-gauge railroad and gained fame as the nation’s highest narrow-gauge railroad, running from Como to Breckenridge. This is a great road to view Fall colors. This road is open to highway legal vehicles only during May-October, and closed to motorized vehicle access seasonally at Summit County discretion, generally October to May.
