We visited Meridian Lake during a recent Colorado trip. Meridian Lake is a popular destination in both summer and fall for its fantastic views, proximity to town, and the amazing color provided by season wildflowers and golden aspen foliage. The very long and narrow natural lake (also known as Long Lake), is also a great place to go for a swim in the summertime. Be sure and bring your camera! Directions: From the Town of Crested Butte, take Gothic Road (Route 135) north 1.75 miles. Turn left onto Washington Gulch Road and drive 1.5 miles. Easy Route: Park in front of the tennis courts on the right side for the easy route. Strenuous Route: Drive another .90 miles farther to signed TH and the dirt parking lot on the left.
