Poudre Lake is an alpine lake and a main source of Poudre River. It is located just a few feet East of the Continental Divide in Larimer County, Colorado.[1]
U.S. Route 34 passes the lake and crosses the Continental Divide at Milner Pass at the southwest end of the lake.[2]
It is a "dead lake", as fish cannot survive in it because it freezes completely during the winter months.
