The Breckenridge Troll, AKA Isak Heartstone is one of the state’s largest man-made tourist attractions. (15 feet tall!) Visiting the troll is free to the public. It can be a bit tricky to get to the troll as parking nearby is sparse, but you can walk from downtown Breckenridge. Once you get to the trailhead, it’s just a short hike to see Isak. (This is about a 30 minute drive from Dillon)
Sapphire Point Overlook is a quick walk from the parking lot. It’s relatively accessible for most, with a flat gravel trail to the overlook. The entire Sapphire Point loop trail is just .6 miles so it’s a perfect walk to see the overlook and then more views of Lake Dillon.
There’s actually two versions of this trail. Both start on the northeast side of Silverthorne. The Ptarmigan Trail is 4.6 miles round-trip, with 1141 feet of elevation gain and considered moderate. However, if you want to hike to the Ptarmigan Peak Trail, it’s a 10.4 mile trail round-trip, with 3638 feet of elevation gain.
A little further from Dillon at about 25 minutes is the town of Breckenridge. (Ride the alpine coaster at the Breckenridge Fun Park, Hiking, Breweries, Shopping and dining.)
Rent a boat, kayaks or stand-up paddle board. And of course there’s fishing! (multiple hiking trails around lake)
About an hour from hotel- local bars, Coor's Field, etc.!
