Is fishing your thing?  Bring your rod, your reel, your lures and your bait and settle in at this cabin whose front yard is the rushing waters of the North Fork Cache la Poudre River.  Your daily fishing pass purchased at Base Camp and your Colorado fishing license entitles you to cast into the cold habitat of several species of mountain trout.  Relax on the bank and dream your dreams of the ones that didn’t get away.  Catch and release and spend the day enjoying your favorite sport or keep three and envision your evening meal.

Once inside this two story chalet, you’ll find a rustic charm enhanced by the wood interior.  Banish the outdoor chill by building a fire in the wood-burning fireplace and relax before preparing dinner.  You may prefer to have a relaxing drink on the wide deck that faces the river while the gas grill heats to cook your catch.  Enjoy outdoor dining on the deck or an indoor meal at either the dining table or kitchen counter.

As evening progresses and your eyes become heavy, relax near the glow of the fire or take a book to the upstairs reading area and enjoy the warmth of the fireplace wafting up to you.

Dragalin Chalet is a fisherman’s dream.  Our lakes and streams are stocked every two-three weeks from Memorial Day to Labor Day.  Only the deer and moose who may wander by will know whether your fish story is really true. 

NOTE: Daily fishing passes (required) can be purchased at the Crystal Lakes’ office.
