Things to do near Durango
Your Fishing cabin isn’t just a cabin—it’s your base for exploring. Durango offers something in every season:
Summer adventures
Summer brings perfect conditions for adventure.
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 right from the shoreline.
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 Fishing cabin in Durango.
Winter escapes
Winter is for cold-weather adventure seekers.
With Purgatory and Wolf Creek ski resorts nearby, plus snowmobiling trails and a fully groomed Nordic track, your cabin becomes a basecamp for snow adventures.
Ice fishing is also popular from January through March, with tournaments that bring visitors statewide.
Spring refresh
Spring is a season of renewal, perfect for anyone avoiding crowds.
Trails begin to open, wildlife comes alive, and the lake starts warming up for early-season boating and fishing.
