Lake Alpine is a perfect stop for outdoor lovers. You can hike, fish, and paddle for free, with trails that loop around the lake and lead to nearby peaks. If you want to launch a boat, there’s a $10 fee for the day. In winter, it becomes a cozy Sno-Park for snow play and cross-country skiing. Nearby, Slick Rock Road offers a fun off-road trail. Whether you’re passing through on Highway 4 or making it your destination, this spot is well worth the stop.
