Frisco ..the next town West of our Lodges!

Frisco Colorado


The Town of Frisco is the Hub and Center of Summit County and has been since its founded in 1873; then due to its locale to many mines during the gold and silver rush of the late 1800s. Now, with its minute proximity to a half-dozen major resort areas, Frisco is the year-round, central location for enjoying all the Rocky Mountains of Colorado have to offer including its own Historic Park, Frisco Peninsula Recreation Area and Nordic Center, Frisco Bay Marina, Ten Mile Recreational Pathway, Town Parks and Special Events. With just under 2,800 full-time residents, the Town of Frisco remains the charming mountain town of days past, yet enjoys unique recreational activities and attractions along the shores of Lake Dillon, whatever the season, in beautiful Summit County Colorado.


Driving Directions

From Denver, Colorado:


  • Take I-70 WEST exit towards GRAND JUNCTION / IDAHO SPRINGS and drive for 58 miles.
  • Take CO-9 SOUTH exit towards BRECKENRIDGE / FRISCO, exit #203 and you are in Frisco, Colorado.

Frisco Mornings, my favorite things to do


Frisco Frisco Mornings, my favorite things to doMorning is my favorite time of the day. I love to get up and walk down the pedestrian-friendly main street in Frisco. Depending on what mood I may be in, I might stop by Pika Bagels and grab a coffee and a veggie eggman bagel sandwich. Other days I prefer to stop at the Butterhorn Bakery for a Hazelnut latte and a chocolate croissant and sit outside and watch the world go by. If I have a hearty appetite, The Log Cabin cafe is the best spot to fulfill my cravings. However, some days I just feel like relaxing, sitting on a couch, reading a book or the Summit Daily News and watching the sunlight grow on Mt. Royal. This desired relaxing spot is Rocky Mountain Coffee Roasters located on Main St. Frisco. Definitely the local hang out when you want a cup of Joe and a place to unwind.

Frisco Frisco Marina

While maintaining a small town community, a myriad of water activities can be enjoyed. Learn to kayak or sail with Osprey Adventures, located at the Frisco Marina. Rent a canoe to explore hidden coves and beaches and watch for the red-tail hawks, ospreys and occasional deer. Looking to catch the big one, motorboats are available to rent for the day. The best fishing spots are near the Blue River and Snake River outlets. Occasionally you might see a local sculling on the glassy, early morning waters of Lake Dillon. Those in a large group may like to rent a party barge and meander around the shores catching some rays. Whatever your preference, the Frisco Marina is the place to enjoy many water activities.
Osprey Adventures – 970.668.5573

Historical Frisco


The history of Frisco goes back to the Ute Indians who first traveled the region many years back. The first white pioneers were trappers and hunted the area from 1810 to about 1840. In the 1870’s gold was on the mind of men, women and children.

The town of Frisco was founded by Henry Recen and became the station for many miners. Frisco was known for its abundance of gold in the surrounding areas. Formerly known as Frisco City, the permanent population reached about 250 in 1882. The boom lasted until about 1918. The Depression stuck and the town of Frisco almost became abandoned. Remains of old building can be seen in Frisco’s Historical Park. Nineteenth century log cabins, including a chapel, private residences, and a jailhouse, have been restored and are on display right on Frisco Main Street. The current population is just about 2,800 full-time residents but brings about 3 million people to the area.
Buildings in the Frisco Historic Park:
· The Trapper’s Cabin
· The Niemoth Cabin
· The Ruth House
· The Staley House
· The Historic Jail
· Bill’s Ranch House
· The Log Chapel
· The Wood’s Cabin
· The Bailey House
· Schoolhouse Museum
