Things to do near Pagosa Springs
Your Lakeside cabin isn’t just a cabin—it’s your gateway to Colorado fun. Pagosa Springs 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.
Every hillside becomes a postcard.
Hunters also find this season ideal, with easy access to the San Juan National Forest from your Lakeside cabin in Pagosa Springs.
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 cozy retreat after long days outside.
Ice fishing is also popular from January through March, with tournaments that draw anglers from across Colorado.
Spring refresh
Spring is ideal for slower escapes, perfect for older couples.
