Visiting the San Juan Mountains in Southwest Colorado? Looking for a scenic lake with free access to water sports, fishing, picnic tables, and a scenic view of the Grenadiers — look no further than 📍Molas Lake.

Located on Molas Pass, this is a family favorite for us during the summer. You can paddle board, kayak, float, fish, and even utilize the day use picnic tables for grilling and eating.

Molas isn’t one of our glacial lakes, but it’s a great spot for mountain recreation with gorgeous views of the Grenadiers in the background.
