Kannah Creek Trail

Whether you are planning a multi-day trek through the area and are looking to camp at Carson Lake, or consider yourself a seasoned adventurer capable of handling this lengthy route in a single day, the Kannah Creek Trail is a rugged adventure in Grand Mesa National Forest that will certainly test your limits.

Setting out from the Kannah Creek trailhead, you will head to the northeast along the path and follow it through a rugged stretch of landscape that is blanketed with a variety of plantlife. Here, you will follow closely alongside the coursing Kannah Creek, as you gradually climb uphill for a total elevation gain of 4202ft.

Reaching the top of the trail, you will arrive at the welcome sight of Carson Lake, where you can set up camp if you are planning on spending the night, or simply lounge by the water’s edge. After resting up, simply head back down the same trail to return to the trailhead where you began your lengthy adventure.
