Surrounded by the 612,000-acre Roosevelt National Forest, the Red Feathers Lake area is a year-round outdoor playground that offers beautiful scenery, diverse wildlife, hiking trails, and cozy mountain retreats.

The nearby Cache La Poudre River, Colorado's first designated Wild & Scenic River, is the area's best spot for whitewater rafting, kayaking, and fishing.

One unique attraction near Red Feather Lakes is the Shambhala Mountain Center, a Buddhist retreat that hosts meditation sessions, educational programs, and contemplative conferences. The center is also home to North America's largest stupa. Open to sightseers of any religion, the dramatic 108-foot temple-like structure represents the aspiration for peace, harmony, and equanimity for all beings.

Fishing, hiking, rafting, hunting, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, camping, and horseback riding are just a few of the activities which may be enjoyed in the area.
