Located approximately 50 miles Northwest of Fort Collins, Colorado, nestled in the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forest is the beautiful mountain subdivision of Crystal Lakes. At an elevation between 8000 and 9500 feet, Crystal Lakes is home for many full time residents as well as vacation/weekend homeowners. Many people camp out on their vacant lots in the summer, which is allowed by the association for 5 months a year. Originally platted into 1600 lots covering over 4800 acres, the subdivision is a little more than half built out. Fishing in Crystal Lake, Panhandle Creek, or the North Fork of the Poudre is a favorite pass time, along with hiking, ATVs, campfires and lots of great moments spent with family and friends.
The property owners association maintains the 89 miles of roads and plows for year- round enjoyment of this gorgeous mountain community. For more information about Crystal Lakes, visit their website at www.crystal-lakes.com
