Driving Through the Eleven Mile Canyon Recreation Area
![]() |
| Car crossing one of the tunnels of the Eleven Mile Canyon Road in the fall of 2025. |
Miles of dirt and sometimes narrow road following the South Platte River near Lake George, Colorado. Amazing waterway. Many rapids enclosed in a beautiful canyon - known before as “Granite Canyon”. The road was a railway. Three picturesque tunnels along the way. Dramatic scenery and many fishermen. Big motorhome stuck at the entrance.
