Welcome to Twin Pine
Food scene
The town of Palmer Lake is most often described as picturesque and charming. The main "drag" is lined with restaurants, many with live music at night, and the Tri-Lakes Center for The Arts on the west with parks and the lake on the east. Its been said that we are in the top 10 train watching sites in the US because of the variety of engines, payloads, types of cars and graffiti.
The lake is open for non-motorized water sports and fishing. Paddle boarding, kayaking, and canoeing are very popular but not to be outdone by the fishing. Picnic areas and a playground are available along with a wonderful Frisbee Golf course that is a favorite destination for those enthusiasts. The Santa Fe Trail runs along the east border of the park and is a great place for a casual walk.

Hiking/Mountain Biking
The reservoirs, in the heart of the Pike National Forest, are the source of water for the town so the only activity allowed is hiking but the views are spectacular. The first 1/4 mile up the access road is steep but the rest of the trail is worth the effort.

Sightseeing
Anytime we can get the chance to get off the highway and drive through the Air Force Academy we take it. If you are interested in our military history this is a good side trip.
