Take a Virtual Tour of Lake City
We invite you to check out a new feature of our website, a virtual tour of Lake City, courtesy of Google Street View. Move along Highway 149 and Silver Street, and spin the screen around a full 360 degrees at any point. If you've never been to Lake City, or if you're looking to visit when you can't be here in person, this is a really cool feature. Here's the link: Virtual Tour of Lake City.

 Clear, Dark Night Skies
One of the advantages of being both remote and in the mountains is that Lake City has really dark night skies, perfect for stargazing.
Check out our updated stargazing page with a schedule of this year's significant meteor showers, along with tips for best viewing. |

We've also posted some new itineraries and recommended activities on our Things To Do Page. Whether you're in Lake City for just one day or for several weeks, you'll find those things to do that make it all worthwhile. | |
