The small community of Dillon is a local jewel in Summit County. Located near Silverthorne and on the opposite end of the Dillon Reservoir from Frisco, this lakeside mountain resort is in the center of some of the country's greatest winter sport destinations. Dillon consists of a tight knit, local community and offers many residences seated along the shores of the Reservoir. This lake is one of Colorado's most unspoiled recreational areas, bounded on all sides by unrivaled mountain views. The crystal clear water, cool mountain air and awe-inspiring scenery combine to create a memorable experience for residents of this 3,300-acre paradise. Dillon Reservoir is fed by the Snake River, the Blue River and the Ten Mile Creek and is home to the Dillon Marina and the Dillon Yacht Club, which hosts the annual Dillon Open. |
This area offers plenty of activities in which to take part. Hike, bike or snowshoe Dillon Trails such as the Dillon Nature Preserve, Old Dillon Reservoir, Tenderfoot Mountain Trail and the Ore Grande. Dine in a selection of great restaurants including Ristorante al Lago, Arapahoe Cafe and Pug Ryan’s Steakhouse. Also on the menu is the fantastic BBQ on the Summit; a two-day festival of mouth-watering BBQ competitions, live entertainment and children’s activities. For a perfect little town with profound scenery and a great community spirit, Dillon is the place to be. |
