}}Grand Lake is a statutory town in Grand County, Colorado, United States. The population was 471 at the 2010 census.[6]

Established in 1881, Grand Lake sits at an elevation of {{convert|8369|ft}} and derives its name from the lake on whose shores it is situated: Grand Lake, the largest natural body of water in Colorado. The town of Grand Lake was originally an outfitting and supply point for the mining settlements of Lulu City, Teller City, and Gaskill, but today is a tourist destination adjacent to the western entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, which surrounds the lake and the town on three sides. Grand Lake was the Grand County seat of government from 1882-1888. It was incorporated on June 23, 1944.[2]

Geography

Grand Lake is located in northeastern Grand County at {{coord|40|15|2|N|105|49|28|W|type:city}} (40.250493, -105.824323).[7] U.S. Route 34 (Trail Ridge Road) runs through the western side of the town, entering Rocky Mountain National Park just north of town and leading {{convert|45|mi}} across the mountains to Estes Park. To the southwest, US 34 leads {{convert|15|mi}} to Granby.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of {{convert|2.7|km2|order=flip}}, all of it land.[6]

Climate

Grand Lake

Grand Lake is Colorado's largest and deepest natural lake, and is part of the headwaters of the Colorado River. The lake became a component in the Colorado-Big Thompson Project (C-BT) in 1937, when it was recruited as a conduit for C-BT project water. The C-BT project diverts water from the Colorado River Basin east via the Alva B. Adams Tunnel under the Continental Divide and Rocky Mountain National Park to the Big Thompson River watershed, thence the South Platte River and ultimately the Mississippi River basin.

Grand Lake Yacht Club is a private club that hosts sailing races on the lake, and there are also publicly and privately operated marinas, a public boat ramp, and public boat docks on the lake.
