Frisco Colorado
Downtown Frisco.

Frisco, Colorado

FacebookTwitter

Frisco and the surrounding area is loaded with things to see and do. The town is nicknamed “Main Street to the Rockies”, probably due to its picturesque downtown and ideal spot in the mountains. It’s located beside I-70 in popular Summit County.

During both summer and winter Frisco is bustling with people enjoying easy access to top notch recreation. There are six major ski areas within a thirty minute drive of Frisco: Arapahoe Basin, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Keystone, Loveland, and Vail.

Dillon Reservoir – In the Summer, Frisco is most known for its marina. The massive Dillon Reservoir borders both Frisco and Dillon, and each town has their respective marina.

  • At the Frisco Marina you can rent boats, kayaks, canoes, and other equipment for fun in the water. There’s nothing quite like a summer day on the lake!

Main Street of the Rockies – Downtown Frisco is lined with colorful shops and restaurants, making it the perfect place to stroll after a summer day on the lake or winter day on the slopes.

Water Sports – If the Dillon Reservoir is too calm for you, then there is plenty of whitewater to be found nearby. Rafting trips depart daily from about May through September, depending on location. The neighboring town of Silverthorne departs on the Blue River, Idaho Springs on Clear Creek and Vail on Eagle River.
