Nolan Lake is a fishing lake in Colorado's White River National Forest, within the Eagle Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land, and the lake sits among a cluster of other outdoor spots, including New York Lake, Lake Charles and Fulford Cave, all within about a mile and a half. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 73°F with lows near 39°F, while winter highs stay around 31°F. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the lake, so temperatures at the lake run slightly cooler. The lake is not reservable, so plan on arriving and fishing without a reservation. Lake Charles and New York Lake are close by for more time on the water or on foot. Yeoman Park Campground is about 1.6 miles away for an overnight stay.
