## Overview

Florida Campground is located near the north end of Lemon Reservoir, in
southwestern Colorado. Visitors enjoy the area for its fishing, trail
opportunities and scenic natural setting.

## Recreation

The Florida River is well known for its rainbow and brown trout fishing, but

trespass.  
  
Hiking and biking are popular activities in the area. The Burnt Timber Trail
No. 667 begins at Transfer Park, about a mile north of the campground.  
  
The East Florida Road (Forest Road 597) winds steeply uphill past the
campground. Lost Lake and Stump Lake Trails begin along this road, offering
short, easy hikes to backcountry lakes.  
  
The surrounding area is open to public hunting. Deer, elk and small game such
as rabbits and grouse inhabit the forest.

as well as campfire rings with grills. Vault toilets and drinking water are
provided.

Pine Point (Vallecito Reservoir, CO)

## Overview

The Jersey Jim Lookout Tower is named after an early cattleman who ran Jersey
cattle in the area. Today, cattle are still grazed in the area under permit.
Many nearby trails were established by loggers seeking timber or by miners
accessing hard-rock ore deposits in the La Plata (Spanish for silver)
Mountains. Hesperus Peak, a sacred mountain to the Navajo Nation, is visible,
as is Sleeping Ute Mountain of the Four Corners. The Jersey Jim Lookout Tower
was home to U.S. Forest Service fire lookouts from the 1940s to 1970s.

The tower was renovated and saved from demolition in 1991 by the Jersey Jim
Foundation, a nonprofit local volunteer organization, which operates and
maintains the tower under permit with the San Juan National Forest. Rental
income is earmarked for maintenance of the facility to offer this unique
experience to the American public.

The Tower cab includes the original furniture and propane heating and
lighting. However, there is no electricity or running water. A sink, propane
refrigerator, and oven/stove are in the kitchen area. Guests must bring their
own supplies. The dining table seats four, and there’s a double bed, and
dresser. With windows all round, views are 360 degrees.

In the middle of the cab is the historic fire finder, which early lookouts
used to spot fires, and which you can use to orient yourself to surrounding
landmarks. In the cabinet below are materials offering information about the
tower and the area.
