... Nice lake winter sunrise view... tucked into the ponderosa pines of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, this 46.54-hectare mountain reservoir sits at an elevation of over 2,438 meters... with three miles of shoreline, is it the largest of the Red Feather Lakes, a cluster of high-country fishing lakes... there's a year-round campground with 70 campsites... visitors enjoy the area for its canoeing, kayaking, fishing, wildlife viewing and trail opportunities... Thanks a lot Andrene! (✿◠‿◠)

Red Feather Lakes, an unincorporated community in Larimer County, Colorado, has a history shaped by Native American usage, early ranching, railroad tie-cutting, water rights battles, and its 20th-century evolution into a mountain resort. The area was historically used for hunting and gathering by tribes including the Ute, Arapaho, and Cheyenne.
Around 1918–1922, South Lake was renamed Red Feather Lake, and the community took its name after investors inspired by a performance by the Creek-Cherokee singer and performer Princess Tsianina Redfeather and named the village and surrounding lakes.
