Lake Dillon is known as one of the most beautiful reservoirs in the Rockies at just over 9000 feet elevation and is within minutes of Breckenridge, Keystone, Frisco, Silverthorne, Dillon, and Vail. The lake has a cap of ice on it for nearly 6 months out of the year! The surrounding beauty, great fishing, and unique environment make Lake Dillon the perfect venue for a relaxing day out with family and friends.
The efforts by parks and wildlife have shown to be productive as we are experiencing the best fishing for Rainbow trout, Brown trout, Arctic Char, and Kokanee salmon that Dillion Lake has offered in many years. In addition to being only one of two reservoirs in the lower 48 that has Arctic Char, Lake Dillon has the only known naturally occurring Kokanee Salmon run. The reservoir has not been stocked with Kokanee Salmon for over 10 years, yet we see some very prolific Kokanee Salmon runs at the reservoir.
