We’re all about keeping it cool in Trinidad, especially when temperatures rise. Luckily, there is no shortage of ways to cool down in and around the city.
Monument Lake
Wake with excitement because you’re headed to Monument Lake Resort! Rent canoes, kayaks, or a pontoon to explore. The lake, with stunning views of snow-capped mountains and vast open skies, is perfect for casting a line and pulling in brown and rainbow trout and kokanee salmon.


Family Aquatic Center
Back in Trinidad, a toddler wading pool, an impressive 140-foot “flume” slide, and a lap pool await at the Family Aquatic Center.
Stargazing
With high elevations and low humidity, Trinidad Lake State Park, or for the more adventurous, Fishers Peak, is home to some of the best stargazing around. Find a comfy place to plop down, stare up in awe, and enjoy the cool Colorado night air.
