Things to do near Pagosa Springs
Your Lakefront cabin isn’t just a cabin—it’s your base for exploring. Pagosa Springs 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.
Every hillside becomes a postcard.
Hunters also find this season ideal, with easy access to the San Juan National Forest from your Lakefront cabin near Pagosa Springs.

Winter is for snow days and cozy nights.
With Purgatory and Wolf Creek ski resorts nearby, plus snowmobiling trails and a fully groomed Nordic track, your cabin becomes a cozy retreat after long days outside.
Ice fishing is also popular from January through March, with tournaments that make the lake come alive in winter.

Spring is ideal for slower escapes, perfect for anyone avoiding crowds.
