Crystal Lakes — Red Feather Lakes, Colorado Subdivision Guide

Serving Larimer County

Crystal Lakes spreads across the north side of Red Feather Lakes, a substantial subdivision developed from the late 20th century through the early 2000s around a chain of small private lakes. Lots range from compact cabin sites near the water to larger forested parcels with well and septic systems, and the community maintains its own recreation areas and lake access for residents. The subdivision's roads wind through lodgepole pine and aspen, with abundant wildlife and a quiet that defines mountain living. Red Feather Lakes Village is a short drive away for groceries and gas, and the subdivision's own amenities — fishing ponds, community grounds, and trails — keep most recreation close to home. Crystal Lakes offers some of the best lake-adjacent cabin value in Larimer County, popular with second-home owners and full-time mountain residents alike.

Crystal Lakes is a large lakeside subdivision on the north side of Red Feather Lakes, with cabins and year-round homes gathered around small private lakes, forested lots, and community recreation areas.
