About Haviland Lake
Haviland Lake, situated over 8,000 feet in the San Juan National Forest, is an 80-acre, no-wake mountain lake offering excellent fly fishing for Rainbow, Brown, and Cutthroat trout. Anglers can explore its clear waters from numerous shoreline access points or a well-placed fishing dock, with a wheelchair-accessible pier also available. While specific hatch information is not detailed, the surrounding ponderosa pine forests and alpine scenery suggest potential opportunities for terrestrial and insect-based fly fishing. The lake is ideal for kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards, and the nearby Haviland Lake Campground provides convenient lodging.
