10 Amazing Trout Fishing Spots in Rocky Mountain National Park

With more than 250,000 acres of wilderness, 124 named peaks and 147 lakes, Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park offers endless outdoor activities including hiking, camping, climbing, and, of course, trout fishing.

If you’re planning a fishing excursion to RMNP, be sure to arrive as early as possible. Parking at the more popular trailheads is very limited and fills up quickly, requiring shuttle access from Estes Park and other towns if there are no available spots. Plus, you’ll have better luck catching trout in the cooler hours of the morning.

Ideal timing for these locations is between July and August on less-crowded weekdays, though you’re sure to have a pleasant time in June and September even if the fish aren’t biting as much.

Check out ten trout fishing options below, and discover more using the FarWide app and in-browser experience.

Open Fishing Waters

1. Loch Vale

The hike to Loch Vale begins from the Glacier Gorge Trailhead. It’s a fairly easy hike by RMNP standards — 5.7 miles there and back with only moderate difficulty. On the way up to the Loch, which sits around 10,000 feet in elevation, you’ll make your way past beautiful waterfalls, including the popular Alberta Falls, named after the wife of early Estes Park settler Abner Sprague.

2. Lake of Glass and Sky Pond

If you’re looking for a challenge, continue past the Loch for a difficult scramble up along Timberline Falls — a gorgeous and impressive cascade — and make your way up to the Lake of Glass and Sky Pond, the latter of which is less than half a mile beyond the former. The trek isn’t for the faint of heart or the unsteady of foot, but if you’re up for it, it’s well worth the experience.
