Trappers Lake, Lake in White River National Forest, Colorado, United States.
Trappers Lake stretches across the mountainous terrain of White River National Forest, surrounded by dense forests and mountain peaks at high elevation.
The lake established its presence in Colorado's early exploration period, serving as a central point for fur trappers in the nineteenth century.
The surrounding area maintains traditional fishing practices, particularly focusing on the native cutthroat trout population that inhabits the lake's waters.
Visitors can rent boats during summer months and stay at nearby campgrounds or rustic cabins, with generator-powered electricity available from 6:30 AM to 9:00 PM.
The lodge near the lake operates without plumbing in its cabins, creating an authentic mountain experience where guests rely on a central bathhouse facility.
