East
Curecanti
To the east, Curecanti National Recreation Area is one of the
most scenic and intriguing places in the Montrose area. This
area surrounds the popular Blue Mesa Reservoir, Colorado's
largest body of water. The Elk Creek and Lake Fork Marinas
provide opportunities for launching boats and kayaks on the
lake. The lake provides excellent fishing opportunities and is
also a very popular ice fishing area in the winter months.
Surrounding the lake are numerous developed campgrounds
with outstanding views. One of the most scenic and wellknown
areas above the lake is the Dillon Pinnacles Trail, which
provides expansive views of the volcanic tuff formations
that tower above the landscape. Below Blue Mesa Dam, the
Gunnison River begins its flow through an immense canyon.
There are a few trails that provide access to the river such as
Mesa Creek, Pine Creek, and Curecanti Creek trails.
West
Uncompahgre Plateau
To the west, just outside of Montrose is the popular
Uncompahgre Plateau. Spanning over 2,290 square miles and
five different counties, there are seemingly endless options for
outdoor adventures on the plateau. Popular activities include
hiking, camping, off-roading, hunting, fishing, cross country
skiing, mountain biking, and any other outdoor activity you
can think of. This vast and remote area presents abundant
camping and recreation opportunities amongst towering
ponderosa pine forests and juniper/pinyon deserts. If you
are looking for solitude, the Uncompahgre Plateau is the
perfect place to be.
Main roads such as Dave Wood Road, Divide Road, and 25
Mesa Road will take you to the top of the plateau where
the views are impeccable. With hidden waterfalls, wildflower
meadows, and thriving wildlife, this area is a true paradise.
