Grand Lake, Mountain resort town in Colorado, United States.
Grand Lake stands at an elevation of 2551 meters, surrounded by peaks of the Rocky Mountains and situated near Colorado's largest natural lake.
The town emerged in 1879 as a supply point for mining settlements and served as the Grand County government seat from 1882 to 1888.
The Grand Lake Boardwalk maintains traditional architecture from the 1800s, with numerous independent shops and restaurants representing mountain heritage.
The town offers direct access to Rocky Mountain National Park through U.S. Route 34, with year-round outdoor activities including hiking and cross-country skiing.
