That’s why the camp operators have worked hard to offer a variety of quintessentially Colorado activities right in the heart of the camp!

Fishing

Golden Eagle has multiple ponds stocked with trout and you don’t need a license. Just pay the daily fee and cast until you’re too tired to cast anymore. (Is that possible?)

There are 12 miles of established trails, many routes offering incredible views, wildlife and those famous Colorado wildflowers. Guests have reported seeing wild turkey and mule deer during their exploration,
