Fish at Bellaire Lake
Bellaire Lake is a 10-acre mountain lake where fishing is a main attraction. The lake is stocked annually with rainbow trout and cutthroat trout. These species, along with creek chubs, make up the bulk of the catch for anglers. The shallow, 13-foot-deep lake warms in summer, offering consistent action for both spin and fly anglers. A 1.25-mile trail circles the lake, providing easy access to fishing spots around the entire shoreline. (coloradolakes.org, accessed September 22, 2026)(recreation.gov, accessed September 22, 2026)
