Boat Rentals and Swimming
Rent boats at Steamboat Lake Marina at Steamboat Lake State Park. The small swim beach near the marina is popular with the younger set. Go to www.steamboatlakemarina.com for additional information.
Cross country skiing and Snowshoeing
Ski or snowshoe from your cabin door. If Columbine Cabins’ one-mile loop is too tame for you, there are miles of groomed multi use trails easily accessible from Columbine. Or, ski or snowshoe off-trail on national forest land for a more tranquil experience. Steamboat Lake State Park has groomed Nordic trails with no motorized use allowed.
Horseback Riding and Dinner or Sleigh Rides
We recommend Dutch Creek Guest Ranch or Elk River Guest Ranch.
Dining
Restaurants near Columbine include the Hahns Peak Café and Dutch Creek Guest Ranch.
