Grizzly Lake Access

Grizzly Lake Access is a rough, rocky 4WD road located near Nathrop in Chaffee County, suitable only for experienced drivers with high-clearance vehicles.

The road climbs approximately 3 miles through private property to reach the lake at 11,200 feet elevation, with a gravel parking area available at the trailhead on County Road 162.

Camping is permitted near the lake (minimum 100 feet from shore), though the road is typically snow-closed until late June, and no potable water is available at the site.
