Serene Lakes

Reportedly named by none other than Mark Twain, Lake Serena and Lake Dulzura are the two adjoining lakes that make up “Serene Lakes”, where you’ll find small community of year-round residents and vacation homes. Serene Lakes is surrounded by a fantastically beautiful area with endless trails for mountain biking and hiking and several other incredible alpine lakes.

Field Note

The lakes’ inviting, crystal-blue waters are fantastic for canoeing, kayaking, sailing, and swimming. The trails around Serene Lakes are ideal for hiking and biking.

Field Note

In colder months, the area’s reliable freezing temperatures and consistent sun provide ample opportunity for ice skating, fishing and other winter activities.
