Boss Lake
Boss Lake is a small reservoir set in a crown of thick forests. It’s a beautiful spot for a hike and picnic, an overnight camping trip or fishing. The hike to the lake follows a steep 4-wheel drive road for 1.2 miles before climbing a winding singletrack for 0.7 miles. It’s not too tough and the views are worth the climb. Enjoy!
Options
For more adventure, hike up to Hunt’s Lake on Trail 1420 from Boss Lake. Look near the south end of Boss Lake for the trailhead. Hunt’s Lake is a bit over a mile one-way from Boss Lake.
Trailhead Access & Facilities
From the junction of US 50 and US 285 in Poncha Springs, turn north and drive west on US 50 for 12.7 miles up Monarch Pass. Park directly across from the Monarch Lodge on the north side of the highway. Walk 0.1 mile up the pass and turn right on CR/FSR 230. There is a sign here for the Boss Lake Trailhead. The mileage starts here, at the sign.
