Her never-ending story takes you along
journeys of mystery, suspense and intrigue.
And every step here at Barefoot Lakes
brings you closer to the realization that
there is always more to discover.
A group of butterflies
is called a kaleidoscope.
Extensive trails, wide open spaces, twin sapphire
lakes—all set against backgrounds of robin’s
egg-blue skies between Colorado’s poetic
sunrises and sunsets. The treasure trove of
natural splendors at Barefoot Lakes rewards
this community with a deep appreciation and
respect for the outdoors.
“Barefoot Lakes presents an opportunity for you to take a step ahead.
We’ve created abundant outdoor spaces where you can revel in
your own private moments and embrace a lifestyle rich in nature”
JEFF ZIMMERMANN

With so much to explore, visiting is simply
not enough. You must live among nature’s
daily surprises.
Consider this an invitation to call this
masterfully-planned community your home.
You just need to take the first step.
History to build on. Before St. Vrain State Park
was here, there was Fort Junction, a sod fortress
protecting settlers during the Colorado War.
Before the Saddleback Golf Club was here, there was
the McKissick coal mine—the first of its kind for Colorado
four years before this territory gained recognition as a state.
And before the 12-mile Firestone Trail, bridging communities, parks
and prominent trails were here, there was an old train track bed.
In the early 1900s, the adjacent coal mining towns of Firestone, Frederick and Dacono became known as the Tri-Towns or the Carbon Valley.
Since the Civil War era and the first half of the 20th century, the booming
coal mine industry in Firestone claimed production of two million tons of
coal, enough to load up a coal train 200 miles long.
Yet despite the area’s monumental changes over the decades, nature
stayed true to herself. Her charm. Her allure. Her collection of tempting
recreational activities.
Hence, it only seems natural that the St. Vrain
region became home to Barefoot Lakes. This is
the perfect place for you and your family to
Jacob & Adaline make a little history of your own.
