The view from our lunch spot. Sandbeach Lake is the deepest lake in Rocky Mountain National Park with a depth of around 50 feet. At one time, the lake was dammed, one of four lakes in the Park that were. After the dam at Lawn Lake failed in 1982, causing a flash flood that killed three campers and resulted in millions of dollars in damage in nearby Estes Park, the Park Service inspected the other dams and found that they were all beginning to fail, so they removed them all.

At Sandbeach Lake, this has resulted in a wide sandy shoreline that is only now beginning to fill in with trees and shrubs.
