Main Street Breckenridge, Colorado, is known for its incredible shopping and dining scene, but it also serves as the central hub of everything Breckenridge, with fun events, festivals, music, and an abundance of activities for your attendees. One of the best things about downtown is that as soon as you arrive, you are just a hop, skip, gondola ride, or jump away from endless amounts of fun. Once your attendees park their car or take the shuttle into town, they can walk or shuttle anywhere. This means more time outside breathing the mountain air and enjoying the views. Take a peek at a few of our favorite adventures on Main Street, and keep reading for details on how groups can make the best of their time in the mountains with other adventures off Main Street.
Adventures on Main Street
The Blue River and Maggie Pond
The Blue River runs down the mountain to create Maggie Pond, all the way through downtown Breckenridge and beyond. Enjoy fly fishing from the shores of the Blue River. Groups can learn to cast and find out where the fish are biting with the help of our local outfitters and guides at Breckenridge Outfitters and Mountain Angler. Stand-up paddleboard (SUP) rentals are available on Maggie Pond, with the gorgeous slopes of Breckenridge Ski Resort as a backdrop. Also, SUP yoga classes on Maggie Pond are offered by Meta Yoga Studios.
Breweries and Tasting Rooms
Two local distilleries, Breckenridge Distillery and Dancing Pines, both have tasting rooms on Main Street, or you can check out two new wineries, Continental Divide and Carboy Winery. If beer is your beverage of choice, head to Breckenridge Brewery, the fourth-oldest brewery in the state, or head out on the Ridden Bike & Brew tour of downtown and visit the Breckenridge Distillery and Broken Compass Brewing just outside of town.
Discover the History and Mystery of Breckenridge

Adventures off Main Street
Biking
Bikes of all shapes and sizes are an integral part of the mountain town paradise. An expansive network of mountain bike trails is easily accessible right from the center of town, and a paved bike path extends to Frisco, Vail, and beyond, running right along the Blue River. Mountain Wave offers a Vail Pass shuttle, giving your group the option to cruise 15 miles in a mostly downhill ride. For a true local experience, check out Breck Bike Guides for customized local tours for all abilities.
Hike and Explore the Mountains
Enjoy the incredible scenery and get on the trails in no time with Carter Park, Burro Trail, and Sawmill Creek just a stone's throw away from all the action on Main Street.
