For decades, the pond in the hamlet of Twin Lakes served as a peaceful lunch spot for travelers, as a wildlife viewing area for locals and as one of the most photographed spots in Colorado. When filled, the pond reflected an old barn and the snowcapped peaks of the Sawatch Range — an image that adorns postcards and tourism websites…But the pond dried up last year after a developer altered the path of the stream water that filled it…On Sunday [June 22, 2025], residents gathered to celebrate the restoration of the pond after their collective efforts brought back the water flow. Twenty people — and four dogs — gathered near a new sign marking the creek before touring the water infrastructure put in place to restore the pond.
