The lodge is only minutes from Lemon Reservoir, which offers great swimming, fishing and paddle boarding opportunities. If you're looking for a motor boat consider Vallecito Lake 20 minutes away. Skiing (Purgatory and Wolf Creek) is 1 hour from Lemon Lodge if you need winter activities. Bring your mountain bikes, hiking shoes and explore all the trails. Of course, downtown Durango is very desirable with tons of restaurants, breweries/winery and shopping. Please contact host for local tips!
