Watanga Lake is located in the Indian Peaks Wilderness of Arapaho National Forest. It is named for a Southern Arapaho Chief who lived in the late 1800’s.
I tried hiking to Watanga Lake a year ago in June and there was too much snow to even get to the trail junction. This year, I waited until late July and hiked the Roaring Fork Trail to the lake with my friend Tina. This was our third and final hike while visiting Grand Lake.
HAPPY HIKING!
