Pearl Lake State Park
Pearl Lake State Park, nestled in the mountains north of Steamboat Springs, offers peace and quiet in a lush forest setting. Surrounded by towering pines, visitors camp along the lake and up a gentle hill, which is deep in the cozy woods. Excellent fly and lure fishing is available at the park where native cutthroat trout flash their red throats when pulled from the water. more info
