HIGH CLEARANCE REQUIRED

We made it all the way up to Jeep Road but as soon we kept left to take Jeep road to the lake, our off road 4Runner could not make it due to large ditches in the road (we are also inexperienced with off-roading but the road was no joke once we kept left for Jeep rd). Prior to that a 4x4 would still be required for the VERY rocky road. A Jeep would’ve made it just fine on Jeep rd, we felt like we would’ve immediately bottomed out. Our foot plates scraped a few times. We continued on Rainbow road and found some great dispersed sites close to the reservoir.

Epic lake front spots!

Overall a great experience. I was a little under prepared for the mosquitoes. This lake is in my top 3 Colorado camping spots.

Chinns Lake

Loved Chinns lake! Had to do a little 4x4 to get to our spot. Got to hike, fish, paddle board, and just enjoy time away from the city. Its a great place and not a very far drive from Denver.
