Once Evergreen Lake freezes over for the season, usually in December, ice fishing and skating take over the lake. There’s no fee to fish the lake, as long as you have a fishing license, and parking is free.
Evergreen features a large lake that freezes over each winter. It’s easy to access from I-70, Highway 285 or another scenic drive in from Morrison. It’s open to both ice skating and ice fishing.
