Sprague Lake is a scenic lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, located on the "south side of Glacier Creek, about two miles south of the Hollowell turnoff." The half-mile walk around the lake is wheelchair accessible and features boardwalks and bridges with views of Flattop Mountain and Hallet Peak. The lake "provides a pleasant area for brookie fishing."〔 〕 The area is named after Abner Sprague, who started a homestead there in 1874.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Time Line of Historic Events ) 〕 Later, he opened a lodge for dude ranching, hunting, and fishing. To improve the fishing, he dammed the far end of the lake. The area became part of Rocky Mountain National Park in 1915, and continued to serve guests as the Sprague Hotel. In 1919, guests paid $6.00 per room with a private bath, and $1.00 for regular meals.〔 〕〔 〕 The hotel, which no longer exists, stood near the present day parking lot. ==See also== * Trail Ridge Road 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sprague Lake (Colorado)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
