Fern Lake Trail

Estes Park, CO

The Fern Lake Trail in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, runs 4.8 miles from Moraine Park in the eastern part of the park westward to Fern Lake, the first portion of the trail following the course of the Big Thompson River. The trail was first informally established in the late 1880s as a way to get to "The Pool," a wide spot in the Big Thompson where a small lodge predated the 1915 establishment of the park.
