River & Lake Information

Gore Creek

Originating in the upper reaches of the Gore Range, this stream quickly tumbles through Vail during its trek to joining the Eagle River west of Vail at Dowds Junction. This little creek could be classified as an aquarium because of the numerous trout holding in the crystal clear water.
