The lake is fed by snowmelt and runoff from the surrounding mountains, and is part of the Big Thompson River watershed. The lake is approximately 15 acres in size and has a maximum depth of 30 feet. The surrounding area is known for its recreational activities, including fishing, boating, and hiking. The lake is also used for irrigation purposes by local agricultural communities. During the winter months, the snowpack that accumulates in the surrounding mountains provides a critical source of surface flow to the lake and the surrounding areas. Marys Lake is an important part of the region's hydrology and plays a vital role in supporting both agricultural and recreational activities in the area.
