Guests to this lake can tour some of the oldest buildings in the region, such as a school house from 1883 that now houses the Summit Historical Society Museum. There is historical boat tours offered, as well.  Completed in 1963, this lake is the biggest facility in the Denver West System. It is an earth-filled dam that deters water from the Blue River Basin, under the Continental Divide, through the Harold Roberts Tunnel and into the South Platte River Basin. Operated by Denver Water Department, the reservoir levels are dropped in the fall season to accommodate the anticipated snowfall – at times climbing as high as 26 feet.     Snowfall is the county’s biggest tourist magnet, motioning skiers and snowboarders from all over the nation. The lake is accessibly located between Vail, Keystone, the Breckenridge ski resorts, Arapahoe Basin and Copper Mountain. Guests can partake in several winter sports, like cross-country and downhill skiing, and when the lake freezes over, ice fishing!
