When you are looking for a weekend away or a vacation the whole family can enjoy, Monument Lake should be on your bucket list to visit. This high-altitude, pristine body of water is not only a favorite place for fishing among local avid anglers, but it is also a historic natural place in Colorado. Owned by the City of Trinidad, they leased the lake to the Monument Resort in 1937. This charming retreat is a destination hotspot for the outdoor adventurer and vacationer alike.
