Description
This gentle rolling trail circles one of Steamboat's most beautiful lakes. Most pay the vehicle entry fee and start from the parking lot, but if you're looking for a longer hike, you can catch the Pearl Lake Trail on Coulton Creek Road east of the lake.Good for families, the Pearl Lake Trail offers many opportunities to wade into the 167-acre reservoir or just sit and take in the views.
