When wildflower-laden meadows sprout from melting spring snow, Frisco emerges as a summer playground. Bike shorts and Birkenstocks replace ski bibs and Sorels as the attire of choice; ski racks give way to bike carriers and camping gear.
Summer activity is as varied as the people who travel here to experience it. Some prefer leisurely-paced recreation - such as golf - while others embrace more challenging adventure such as climbing or white water rafting. Still others sample tennis, four-wheeling, mountain biking, or in-line skating and biking on the 50+ miles of paved path which streaches from Vail to Frisco and Dillon and from Keystone to Breckenridge.
Frisco's family-oriented, summer events include a free music festival/street fair, Fourth of July celebration, a citizens' bicycle criterium, running races, car shows and a founders' day weekend honoring colorful characters of the Old West.
Water sports enthusiasts will enjoy activities offered by Osprey Adventures at the Frisco Bay Marina. The marina accommodates 96 boats and features canoe and power boat rentals, as well as boat equipment sales.
Anglers will delight in Lake Dillon and Ten Mile Creek inlet fishing and a nearby Gold Medal trout stream; young fishing buffs snag catches in the stocked pond of Meadow Creek Park.
