In addition to the lake, the Evergreen Park and Recreation District maintains a year-round swimming pool (6 lane, 25 yard pool at Wulf Recreation Center; two lane pool at Buchanan Rec. Center), gymnasium, racquetball and handball courts, and other recreational facilities both indoor and outdoor. Also available in the Evergreen area are numerous hiking and mountain biking trails and two golf courses. Several of Colorado's best ski areas are located within a one hour drive.
