Lake City
Tucked into the grassy canyon where Henson Creek and the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River meet in the enchanting San Juan Mountains, Lake City is a state secret. Some say that Lake City is the "cure for the common crowd," because of its charming small-town character and the vast, stunning natural landscape all around the town. Lake City is the perfect place to experience the outdoors and to get far away from the noise and the crowds of the fast-paced city.
