Dillon

Try and imagine no Lake Dillon, but instead in the same place three rivers coming together where a trading post and clusters of cabins might have existed. This was the first site of the Town of Dillon and the scene in the late 1800s until Denver needed water storage in the high country. The town had to relocate to the northeastern shore of the lake while the reservoir was completed in 1963. The result was drinking water for Denver, but also our community got the beautiful lake we see and recreate on today.

Now the lakeside mountain Town of Dillon has a variety of amenities, including eateries housed in buildings from the Old Town of Dillon, microbreweries, a bowling alley, batting cages,and a summer concert venue/amphitheater.

The conveniences of a bowling alley and movie theater are in close proximity as well as easy access to I-70. Dillon’s signature Farmer’s Markets and events, draw crowds in summer as do local performances at the amphitheater overlooking the lake.
