Gem Lake (N40 24.646 W105 30.206) is a lake located north Estes Park, Colorado. It can be accessed via the Devils Glutch Road off. It starts at the Lumpy Ridge Trailhead. The trail leading up to the lake is moderately forested with beautiful vista's of surrounding peaks. This trail is approx 2 miles long (one way), mostly up hill, until you reach the lake. Gem lake is carved out of the granite and filled with rain water. It's a beautiful hike perfect for early spring or during the fall season of changing leaves. There are many kinds of tress, including Aspens and Pines. You may see some squirrels, but very few wild life. No camping, no dogs and no fires are allowed at Gem lake nor the on trail.
