About this campground
“Campers staying at Big Meadows between September 7 and 11, 2018 can expect loud noises between 9 am and 6 pm due to a blasting project in the Spruce Lakes area, approximately 5 miles southwest of the campground”. This trailhead is located at the reservoir boatramp on the northeast corner of the lake. The facility consists of a parking lot, pit toilet, and trail signing. This is a major trailhead to the Weminuche Wilderness and Archuleta Lake as well as a connector to the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDNST).
