- A postcard of Woods Lake. Buildings from the Woods Lake Resort are visible across the lake. "Woods Lake played a significant role in the development of tourism and recreation in the Rocky Mountains. ... The Colorado Midland Railroad (which ran from 1886-1918) was instrumental in bringing tourists into the mountains, especially for fishing expeditions. ... Woods Lake is listed on the National Register of Historic Places not only because of its importance in the early development of recreation and tourism in Colorado, but also because of its large group of unaltered log cabins." -- History Colorado
