Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Meridian Lake, located close to Crested Butte, is a popular summer and fall destination for several reasons. Also known as Long Lake, this free attraction offers visitors the chance to engage in fun activities like swimming and hiking. There are two trails along the natural lake, one of them easy and the other more strenuous.
The easier trail is 2.4 miles long and takes between one and two hours to complete round trip. The strenuous trail is just half a mile long, but it takes the same amount of time to complete a round trip. Both trails showcase the beauty of the aspen trees and wildflowers and lead to spots where you can swim in the lake.
