As the Summit County resort towns grow in popularity and traffic, the laid back charm of Frisco prevails in the energy and friendly mood of Main Street. At one end, discover the cool expanses of Dillon Reservoir and at the other, find the jutting peaks of the Ten Mile and Gore Ranges.

Everywhere in between you'll uncover restaurants, historic saloons, art galleries and snappy clothing stores. Anything from steaks, seafood, pizza, burgers, breweries, cafes, bagels, bakeries, a wine bar, Southwestern, Chinese, Mexican and Italian can be found on Frisco's restaurant row.

The Town of Frisco has a distinctive small-town character culminating at its center of activity - Main Street. From the Frisco Bay Marina to the mouth of Officer's Gulch, the center street of town guides you directly into the scenic Rocky Mountains. Main Street Frisco is the centerpiece of local activity in Summit County. Block party style events engulf the streets and sidewalks with happy faces that fill the streets with fanfare and splashes of Frisco's century-old history.

Just one hour from Denver on Interstate 70 is a perfectly situated lakeside community that launches you into all kinds of adventure where you can feel like a kid again in the central Rocky Mountains.
