At elevation 6,800 feet, much of the area surrounding the 80 acres of Rainbow Lake is private property, so respect other's boundaries. Much of the shoreline is weedy, making a boat almost a necessity. Try shore fishing off the north or west ends. A new boat ramp, car-top boat launching area, courtesy dock, restrooms, and a parking area have been recently added. The lake is a popular fishing hole for bass, trout, catfish, and bluegill. During the winter, bald eagles are common around the lake. Campgrounds in the area of Rainbow Lake usually are full in summer.
