Fraser River and many small creeks run around town, so there are plenty of peaceful places to cast a line from shore for trout fishing. Lake Granby is only 25 minutes from Tabernash and offers great fishing. There are three boat ramps open for daily use, and visitors have said the best conditions are early and late in the day.

Hiking Trails

Hiking. Fraser River Canyon Trailhead is a few minutes north of town and is an easy 1.2-mile out-and-back trail for anyone to enjoy. High Lonesome Trailhead lives up to its name and is, well, lonesome during any season. It is unlikely you'll encounter anyone else on this flat logging road that runs along a peaceful stream.
