Meadow Creek reservoir

Tucked high in the mountains southeast of Fraser, Meadow Creek Reservoir is a quiet, high-alpine escape perfect for paddlers seeking solitude and stunning scenery. Surrounded by dense forest and nestled just below the Continental Divide, this hidden gem offers glassy waters, cool mountain air, and panoramic views that make every paddle feel like an adventure. With no motorized boat traffic and no developed shoreline, it’s the ideal setting for a peaceful morning float or a laid-back afternoon on the water. Paddle the Rockies offers daily and multi-day rentals delivered directly to your home or vacation rental. Each rental includes everything you need for the journey: a paddle, PFD, electric pump, waterproof phone case, instructional videos for setup and breakdown, and expert recommendations on where to paddle — including alpine gems like Meadow Creek.
