Bierstadt Lake is located in Larimer County, Colorado[1] and within the Rocky Mountain National Park.[2] Near McHenrys Peak and Longs Peak,[1] there are "spectacular views" of the Continental Divide at the lake.[3] The Bierstadt Lake Trailhead is located about 6.5 miles (10.5 km) from the turn-off at U.S. Route 36 into the Rocky Mountain National Park. During the summer, shuttle buses provide transportation to the trailhead.[3][4]

The lake sits atop a lateral moraine on the side and end of Bartholf Glacier and drains into Mill Creek.[2][5] It is named for Albert Bierstadt, a noted landscape artist, whose 1870s paintings of Longs Peak and Bierstadt Lake are among the Denver Art Museum's collection.
