Seven Lakes

Managing agency

Forest Service

Seven Lakes is a 9.4-mile loop trail located in Colorado near the town of Colorado, managed by the Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest's Clear Creek Ranger District. This scenic loop offers hikers a moderate challenge through alpine terrain characteristic of the Front Range. The trail provides access to multiple high-elevation lakes, making it an ideal destination for those seeking mountain scenery and potential wildlife viewing opportunities. The loop configuration allows hikers to experience varied landscapes without retracing their steps, though the specific terrain and lake features should be confirmed with the managing ranger district before your visit. As with many Colorado alpine trails, weather conditions can change rapidly, particularly during afternoon hours. Hikers should plan accordingly and check current conditions with the Clear Creek Ranger District. The trail's proximity to Clear Creek drainage makes it accessible to visitors exploring the broader Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest area. For detailed information about current trail conditions, parking, and any seasonal closures, contact the Clear Creek Ranger District directly before planning your hike.
