About Hinsdale County Fair
The Hinsdale County Fair in Lake City celebrates Colorado's most sparsely populated county — the San Juan Mountains' Lake City is the heart of a county where the Alfred Packer cannibalism case of 1874, the spectacular Alpine Loop backcountry driving route, and the Gunnison and Lake Fork rivers' gold-medal fishing define one of the most remote and beautiful counties in Colorado.
What to Expect
Expect a small mountain fair with livestock exhibits, 4-H competitions, local artisan vendors, and the authentic frontier spirit of Colorado's most remote mountain county.
Visitor Tips
Lake City's Alfred Packer Memorial sits near the courthouse in a remarkably preserved Victorian silver mining town. The Alpine Loop connecting Lake City to Ouray and Silverton via Engineer and Cinnamon passes is one of America's greatest 4WD high-country adventures. Hinsdale County is entirely within the Rio Grande and Gunnison national forests.
