LAND O' LAKES AREA GRAND MESA VISITOR CENTER - ISLAND LAKE

 

Grand Mesa's south-facing slopes boast a magnificent collection of 18 lakes, all within walking distance of each other. Enjoy each of them and view all of them by visiting the Land O' Lakes overlook just above Island Lake. The Grand Mesa Visitor Center is the hub of the Land O' Lakes Area and has interpretive exhibits, public restrooms, a bookstore, a unique High-Altitude Native Garden, and Forest Service staff to answer your questions. Excellent fishing and boating in the summer turn to excellent cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter.

Enjoy the hospitality of the Spruce Lodge Resort, where you can find great food and lodging. Rent snowmobiles and other winter equipment.

The extreme southern end of the Grand Mesa Scenic Byway is Cedaredge, home of the internationally-known Pioneer Town Museum and the Grand Mesa Welcome Center. Pioneer Town Museum has an outstanding collection of historic artifacts, including an entire main street equipped with every shop you would find 100 years ago. Check out the extensive Doll Museum or the Sutherland Arrowhead Exhibit; one of the finest of its kind in the nation.
