Most sites are on or very close to the lake. There's a full service marina, with fishing gear, pontoon boats, paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, and a ski/wakeboard/suf boat is available too. The little swim beach is perfect for kiddos. The nights are always cool, making summer camping really fun. Hiking and biking are everywhere in North Routt, and there's good biking if you have a kid carrier too. Scenic, and goes around the lake to The Clark Store (ice cream and sandwiches are not to be missed.) Best hike? Go the the end of Seedhouse Road to the Slavonia Trailhead, and head for Gold Lake (short trip-young families/fishing/swimming), or Gilpin Lake (best trip-glacier lake - take a lunch and swim). Hahn's Peak is the backdrop for camping, and you can hike it too! LOVE Steamboat Lake.
