Berthoud
Known as the “Garden Spot of Colorado”, Berthoud lies about halfway between Fort Collins and Denver. The Little Thompson River flows through the south end of town and the outskirts are dotted with farms big and small. There is an endless amount of outdoor opportunity for the nature lover. Carter Lake provides boating, swimming, fishing, camping, and hiking and is just a 20 minute drive from town. Take in a round of golf at the award winning TPC Heron Lakes or enjoy your lunch with a view from the clubhouse. Estes Park is just up the canyon if you’re looking for big mountain adventures, and Longs Peak sets the background of the view from just about anywhere in Berthoud.
If staying local is your thing, Berthoud definitely provides. Our small town has a great assortment of restaurants, breweries, shopping and more! Weekly summer farmers’ markets on Saturday mornings are a great place to meet your neighbors and grab some of the locally grown produce and meats. Throughout the year Berthoud hosts numerous festivals; Snowfest, Hops and Harley, Oktoberfest, Berthoud Days, and more!
Our hometown school sports teams consistently draw a crowd, and there is no better place to be than under those Friday night lights during football season. Not to mention our volleyball, wrestling, baseball, golf, and softball teams are all exceptional and get tons of deserving support from the town. The homecoming parade is always a great time with the team floats getting better each year.
If you are curious about small town life just take a stroll down Mountain Ave, grab a beer at City Star and imagine yourself waking up to the charming tree lined streets of Berthoud everyday. Does it get much better than this?
