Summer

  • Hiking
    Silverthorne is nestled right in the heart of Summit County, so get out on the Ptarmigan Trail, or walk around North Pond Park to view the nestling ospreys.
  • Biking 
    The Blue Ridge Trail in Silverthorne connects into the county trail system that goes from Glenwood Springs to Keystone, and up to Vail, so hop on for a ride!
  • Fishing 
    North Pond Park offers great fishing in this mountain wetland. The Blue River also offers a great chance for fly fishermen to get out and test their mettle.
  • Golfing
    The Raven at Three Peaks Golf Club is continually acclaimed as one of the best courses in Colorado, so make sure to take the opportunity to try it out for yourself.
  • Rainbow Park 
    This park is huge! With 7 acres, there are tennis courts, basketball courts, sand volleyball courts, a skate park, picnic shelters and more.

Winter

    If the conditions are right, North Pond Park is opened for ice skating, so grab your skates for some old fashioned pond skating.
