Palmer Lake

The entire Colorado Tri-Lakes region is known for its watering holes: Palmer Lake, Lake Woodmoor, and Monument Lake. The town was founded in 1871 by William Jackson Palmer, who was also the president of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, and Palmer Lake offered the only natural water supply critical for the trains in route between Denver and Colorado Springs. The Palmer-Divide is a geological ridge running from Palmer Lake eastward; as such, it creates its own weather patterns. Further, the town has an interesting history, including events associated with the “wild west.” The Town of Palmer Lake sponsors an annual Arbor Day Tree Planting, a Kid’s Palmer Lake Fishing Derby, a 4th of July street fair and fireworks, the Great Chili cook off, the annual hunt for the Yule Log, and an annual treelighting event.
