If you’re looking for a tranquil escape, head to Erie Lake, a reservoir located just 1.8 miles from Lafayette, in Boulder County. This shallow lake is ideal for fishing and birdwatching, and offers stunning views of the Rocky Mountains. You can also enjoy a picnic on the grassy shore, or take a leisurely walk around the lake on the trail. For a more adventurous experience, book a hot air balloon ride and soar over the lake and the surrounding countryside. You’ll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramas and a sense of freedom.
