Roxy Ann Lake is a 3.6-mile out-and-back hike in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness, part of the Parks Ranger District of the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest in Colorado. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is rated hard, with a one-way climb of about 500 feet from a low point of 10,206 feet to a high of 11,122 feet. The trail is natural-surface and allows horses, but bikes are not permitted. That makes it a good fit for riders on horseback or for hikers who want to move at a steady pace over a longer route. Slide Trail lies about 1.7 miles away, and Crags is about 2.3 miles off. For paddling, South Fork Mad Creek is about 6 miles away, and Teal Lake Group Campsite offers camping roughly 7 miles from the lake.
