Molas Lake Park & Campground

Silverton, Colorado

About

At Molas Lake Park and Campground, visitors experience unforgettable scenery, a 25-acre lake stocked with trout, and dark, starry skies free of light pollution. Day use is allowed from dawn to dusk. There are four day use picnic areas and grills, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The Lake and Campground provide access to the San Juan National Forest, Molas trail system routes, the Colorado Trail (segment 24), and Colorado’s largest wilderness: the Weminuche Wilderness. The lake and Campground are on a pristine 137-acre alpine parcel granted to the Town of Silverton by the U.S. Federal Government in 1925 for public park purposes. The dramatic skyline is dominated by Grand Turk, Sultan, Snowdon, N-1, N-2, N-3, and Electric peaks, to name a few. The Campground has 62 campsites providing a mix of lakefront, rock outcrop, and secluded forest sites for large and small RVs, trailers, pop-ups, and tents.
