RECREATION
The Blue Mesa subdivision is located in the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of roughly 8,500 feet. For visitors arriving from sea level or lower elevation it may take several days to acclimate to the altitude. The subdivision and surrounding area provides large opportunities for recreational activities.
FISHING
The lake in the subdivision is stocked with catchable trout every year. Since it is on private property, no license is required. Additional fishing (with license) is available at the Lake Fork of the Gunnison, Blue Mesa Reservoir, Lake San Cristobal by Lake City, and many other locations.
ATV
There are many opportunities in the area to ride your ATV. Lake City, less than an hour away, boasts some of the best ATV trails in Colorado.
SNOWMOBILE
The subdivision receives an average maximum snowpack of 21 inches. That is plenty of snow for riding a snowmobile. Check the Lake City visitor center for the extensive snowmobile trails around Lake City.
HIKING
The subdivision roads provide a convenient way to get some exercise. Traffic is usually very light, except on major national holidays. For longer hikes there are numerous trails of varying difficulty in the Gunnison county.
SKIING
For the ski enthusiast there are two ski areas within roughly an hour and a half, Crested Butte and Monarch Pass. For families who just want to get their kids on skis, the Lake City Ski Hill is a convenient and low priced area.
