- I figure I’ll slowly check off many of the various lakes in the Flat Tops and put together a playlist for folks who might be interested in hiking to and/or fishing them. There isn’t that much info on some of these!
Bailey Lake is about a 9 mile round-trip hike from the trailhead in Buford (most of the hike is through private ranch land), climbing from ~7,000’ to ~8,800’. It had respectable brook trout and swarming mosquitos at the end of June. Just above it is Swede Lake, and I could not confirm the presence of fish there. Neither lake is particularly deep, so at modest elevation, there can be a lot of weeds to dodge.
