The Big Thompson or the Big “T” as it’s known to the locals, flows out of the Front Range and is one of the best tail waters we have close by. With its head waters beginning around the corner in Rocky Mountain National Park, the river flows through the park, through downtown Estes, and into Lake Estes. From there the water is released from Olympus dam and heads down “the canyon” where US 34 follows the river on its journey towards the flats of Colorado and the town of Loveland.
