Marina Park

Reviewed By rocklady9898 - Silverthorne, United States

People of all generations love this place! Who wouldn’t? The best play ground with the best view, all within spaces for picnic or transition to what ever concert is playing at the Amphitheater! This play area is known to encourage all levels of activities for kids of different abilities. This is where to bring your kids before bed time, then a warm bath. Nothing like plain old climbing, exploring, swinging, spinning fun.

Dillon Farmers' Market

Reviewed By weluv2travel621 - Saint Louis, United States

We go to Dillon every summer & always go to the Farmer’s Market. The setting is stunning- right on the lake with a beautiful view of the mountains. It has so many vendors with a huge variety of items such as produce, jewelry, pottery, clothing, plus lots of cool things to give as small gifts or souvenirs!! My favorite is the “Two Mike Creek Jelly”!! It’s just the BEST sweet & hot jelly around! This is a fun event for everyone & there are always venders giving sample & selling lunch for a reasonable price. Don’t miss it!!

Dillon Amphitheater

Reviewed By happytripper53 - Aurora, United States

We enjoyed an evening concert while visiting nearby. We took our chairs and secured a spot to listen to the music. Be forewarned there is a lot of security for such a small venue, they check purses and bags, etc. it is a nice setting with fantastic views!

Herman Gulch Trail

Reviewed By Joel_Daphne - Daphne, United States

I went on this hike in mid-morning with my wife and 2 daughters (10 & 8). This ended up being one of our favorite hikes we did on our trip to Colorado due to the beautiful scenery all of the way up to the lake. The was a little complaining from the kids due to the length of the hike, but they made it to the lake and were quite happy. As others have said, the trip is over 4 miles one way. It is uphill the entire way up and the incline definitely increases for the last half mile. I would say just pace yourself which is easy to do. There are several meadows with wildflowers and a stream which beg for you to take a moment and relax, drink some water, eat a snack and embrace the fact that you are in such an amazing natural setting. Plenty of parking was available. Take a hat and sunscreen as there is a lot of time spent in the sun.
