Echo Lake Park is a lovely public park in Evergreen that has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1995, preserving the Echo Lake Lodge, constructed in 1926 by Denver-area architect Jules Jacques Benoit Benedict to mimic a traditional indigenous earth lodge. The park's namesake lake is an oligotrophic lake located near Mount Evans at an elevation of more than 10,000 feet above sea level, originally formed from glacial retreat within the Chicago Creek Valley. Beautiful subalpine fir, Engelmann spruce, and limber pine tree forests surround the lake and park, which border the Roosevelt and Arapaho National Forests and the Pawnee National Grassland. Park activities include hiking, fishing, and wildlife watching, with opportunities available for day-use picnics and overnight camping.
