Link: More Information
How to get there: Take I-70 west to Silverthorne. Take CO9 north from Silverthorne for 7.3 miles. Watch for the Blue River Campground sign on the right side of the road. Just before you reach the sign turn left (west) onto the dirt road, Rock Creek Road, FSR1350. Proceed along this road veering left at the fork. Stay on the main road which leads to Rock Creek Trailhead parking, noted on the map as (P)6. Distance on the dirt road from CO9 is about 3 miles. The trail: Take the Rock Creek Trail west of the parking area .3 mile to its junction with the Gore Range Trail - turn right (north) onto the Gore Range Trail for 1.8 miles until the trail splits in two directions. Turn left and follow the wide trail for another .3 mile to Boulder Lake. Some campsites are on the southeast side of the lake. More campsites are on the west side where Boulder Creek enters the lake. A neat waterfall can be found .10 miles of the lake on Boulder Creek, a nice side trip. Notes: The best water is out of Boulder Creek; also, water is available out of several smaller streams on the southeast and south sides of the lake. Firewood is available but is some distance from the campsites.
