What Red Feather Lakes is like for active adults
Red Feather Lakes is a very small town in north central Colorado, about 50 miles northwest of Fort Collins.  There are 14 lakes and 6 of them are open to the public for fishing and boating. The community of just under 600 people is surrounded by the Roosevelt National Forest and near the Poudre Valley. Some of its amazing outdoor activities include horseback riding, fishing, hiking, biking, off-road vehicle roads, and hunting.  In wintertime it attracts cross-country skiers, snowmobilers, snowshoers and ice-fishing enthusiasts to the area.There is an abundance of wildflowers and wildlife: elk, antelope, moose, mule deer, bear, quail, grouse, mountain lions, bighorn sheep and wild turkey.
