Historic Grand Lake Colorado, the snowmobile capital! This little town in the heart of the Colorado Rockies
and the western Gateway to the majestic Rocky
Mountain National Park. Nestled below craggy, snowcapped mountain peaks.
Grand Lake is Colorado's largest and deepest natural lake, and is part of the headwaters of the Colorado
River. The Lake became a component in the Colorado-Big Thompson Project (C-BT) in 1937, when it was
recruited as a conduit for C-BT project water. The C-BT project diverts water from the Colorado River
Basin east via the Alva B. Adams Tunnel under the Continental Divide and Rocky Mountain National Park to
the Platte River and ultimately the Mississippi River basin.
Grand Lake Yacht Club serves the people of Grand Lake as a private club hosting sailing races on the
Lake, and there are also publicly and privately operated marinas, a public boat ramp, and public boat
docks on the lake
