Things to do near Graham Creek

Your Lakefront cabin isn’t just a cabin—it’s your base for exploring. Graham Creek offers something in every season:

Summer adventures

Summer brings blue skies and full trails.
Spend your mornings hiking or biking local trails, afternoons kayaking or paddleboarding on Vallecito Lake, and evenings grilling dinner outside your cabin.
Fishing is especially popular this time of year, with plenty of opportunities steps from your cabin.

Fall getaways

When the crowds thin out, fall colors transform the valley.
Aspens turn gold and orange.
Hunters also find this season ideal, with easy access to the San Juan National Forest from your Lakefront cabin in Graham Creek.
