Lake George Tornado: June 8, 2014
There were multiple tornadoes in Park County on Sunday, June 8, 2014. We saw the first one touch down near Fairplay in South Park while we were fishing at Spinney Reservoir. When we got home (near Wilkerson Pass), we watched another one form and touch down then head toward Lake George where it took out a ranch and a campground. I went to Lake George and took these videos of the tornado damage. This is the third time in so many years that Lake George has taken a direct hit from a tornado. Since the storms and funnel clouds first develop in South Park over the reservoirs, there is a bout a 20-30 minute window before the tornadoes head east and hit Lake George - I suggest there should be some kind of community warning system like sirens in Lake George when tornadoes are forming in South Park.

Sam Hartsel Lodge, South Park, Colorado (May 2016)
The Sam Hartsel Lodge is a historic facility located on the Hartsel Springs Ranch – a working buffalo ranch located in South Park, Colorado. The lodge and cabins have been renovated and converted to provide luxurious access to fishing, horseback riding, hiking and myriad of outdoor recreation.
Located 1.5 hours from Colorado Springs and 2 hours from Denver, the Hartsel Springs Ranch and Sam Hartsel Lodge are a perfect, easily accessed overnight getaway. The ranch feature stables of horses and over 100 head of buffalo. The setting of wide-open, high-alpine plains rimmed by austere snow covered peaks provides a setting reminiscent of a century ago in time as the west must have been for the fur trappers, gold prospectors, and cattlemen of yesteryear.
The ranch is seated at the confluence of the Middle and South Forks of the South Platter River - a coveted Gold Medal Wild Trout stream. With 12 state wildlife areas, a number of the state's premiere tourist attractions, and Colorado's best white river rafting, surrounding mountain ranges, the Ranch is ideally located in the geographic center of Colorado providing a great home base to explore the many attractions nearby.
You can contact the lodge directly by visiting their Facebook page, or, by booking a fly fishing destination trip through Tumbling Trout fly shop in Lake George, Colorado.
