Notes from the landowner

Please note: Children 13 and under are not allowed on property.

Our newest still water edition and sister lake to our much sought after Mirror on the Michigan, this property offers an adjacent but new experience for those looking to mix things up. Recently stocked with the elusive tiger trout, Michigan #2 will accommodate for those looking to chase new and exciting species!

Nestled at over 10,500 feet in a high mountain valley near the Continental Divide in South Park, this location is a mountaintop treat. Just under ten miles from Jefferson CO, this property is surrounded by the Pike National Forest, where trophy trout prosper in this tranquil lake, waiting for a skillfully presented fly. Whether you are in a boat or working the shoreline, these waters can provide ample opportunities, with trout rising and big cruisers working the banks just feet from the lake's edge. There is no shortage of species and views at this location. It offers a great visual experience while giving you the chance to catch big Palominos, Rainbows, Browns, Brookies, and Tiger Trout!

There are three drift boats for our guests to use at no extra charge! These boats are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Feel free to bring your own belly boat to enjoy the water. Just a heads up, there’s no boat launch on the property for angler use.

There is a gazebo available for lunch and or shelter from an afternoon thunderstorm. There is also an open picnic area for your use as well. This is a high-elevation lake, and afternoon thunderstorms are to be expected.

Although we typically get your booking approved within a few hours, please allow up to one business day for booking confirmations.

Due to livestock and other concerns, dogs and other pets are NOT permitted on this property.

For properties listed as "Community Adventures" there is the possibility that a limited number of other anglers can be on the property at the same time. Just a heads up, some of our spots have other leases that might have anglers casting their lines too. So, hit 'request to book' and we'll make sure to confirm the availability before you pack your gear!
We think it's important to mentor the next generation of anglers. Youth between the ages of 13 and 17 are 50% off for all fishing and small game when you reserve on the Infinite Outdoors app. However, kids 13-17 will need to have an Infinite Outdoors Membership. Youth 12 and under are free and do not need a membership but must follow all property rules.
No, most of our property listings are available to Infinite Outdoors Members without a pass. If you plan on fishing on a regular basis talk to our support team and see if a pass might make sense.
Not all properties have signs, so be sure to check the property boundaries and information in the Infinite Outdoors app.
Access your adventure on the IO app before heading out the door, all the information and maps will be on the app so you don't need service to navigate your adventure. Also all property maps will download offline onto your app so you can always see where you are on the property, even without service.
We can't guarantee you'll catch fish every time—fishing always comes with a bit of unpredictability due to factors like weather and fish behavior. However, we do everything we can to boost your chances! We offer information on local fly shops so you can get the best tips and gear recommendations. As for the size of the fish, it really depends on where you're fishing. We aim to connect you with spots where you have a good shot at landing some great catches, but it's all part of the Do-It-Yourself fly fishing adventure!
Download and use the Infinite Outdoors app for directions to the property, boundary lines, access points, and more. These maps can be found in the adventure layer on the app home screen or in your list of adventures under the "Adventures" tab.
Adventures must be cancelled 48 hours or more prior to the trip. Any cancellations made within 48 hours will result in partial or full charges.
Yes, each active angler on the property must be an active Infinite Outdoors member and must be invited, and accepted, to the adventure through the platform.
Non anglers require prior approval. Once approved they must still be IO members but may be subject to reduced price or free outdoorsman fee. If this applies to you, please reach out to IO.
Your downloaded adventure and map in the IO app is your proof of booking. Be prepared to present it upon request.
Unavailable dates may be due to properties already being booked to capacity, landowners have not yet made dates available, or we are resting the property for conservation purposes. Feel free to contact an Infinite Outdoors member or support team if this issue arises.
