Vacation Spots- Lakes and Fishing?

[cowboykjohnson]

I think Grand lake is the largest natural lake in Colorado.
Blue mesa reservoir over by Gunnison is big and I think you can rent boats.
Lake Estes you can rent boats at but it's not very big.
Carter lake by Loveland is decent size and you can rent boats there.
I'm sure there are more but those are the ones off the top of my head.

Try taylor park. Its a reservoir but its big.

I agree on Taylor Park. Good sized, you can rent boats and good fishing, but no shops nearby for your wife to go shoppig.

That leads me to saying (IMHO) your best bet would be Blue Mesa outside Gunnison. Gunnison is the key here. Lots of shooping for your wife and (last I heard) they do rent boats on the Blue Mesa which is a huge lake by CO standards.
