Red Feather Lakes

Wild Water, Forest Trails

Four seasons of escape at the edge of Roosevelt National Forest. Paddle or fish 14 sparkling lakes in summer; trade paddles for snowshoes and ice lines in winter. The Wild & Scenic Cache la Poudre brings whitewater and blue-ribbon fly-fishing, while moose, deer, and elk make every hike feel like a front-row nature show.

Cabin Life, Quiet Community

With a cozy population and a handful of local spots, life here moves at an easy, starlit pace. Log cabins and mountain homes cluster around trailheads, the Drala Mountain Center offers reflection beneath a vast sky, and neighbors wave by name. It’s a true unplugged village—close to wilderness, rich in calm, and big on belonging.
