Kroenke Lake Trail
Buena Vista, CO
Kroenke Lake Trail
This hike follows a tumbling stream and travels through a mountain forest to end at Kroenke Lake. The hike is in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness so wilderness leash regulations apply. Nonetheless, the hike meets the two criteria that make an outing a joy for any dog—plenty of water access and a trail that is not hard on paws. From the trailhead, the North Cottonwood Creek Trail runs along the creek for about 50 yards before crossing it on a solid bridge. The trail follows the stream, offering numerous opportunities for your dog to get wet or get a drink. The trail passes through a dense mixed forest and at 1.5 miles crosses the stream again.
