About Loveland

Loveland is nestled in a lush valley at the entrance to the Big Thompson Canyon and is known as the "gateway to the Rockies." Dotted in and around the city and surrounding areas are an abundance of scenic lakes, parks, trails and recreational areas. Loveland's lakes, rivers and streams provide for swimming, water skiing, rafting, boating, fishing and other water sports. Loveland's mountains provide ample opportunities for hiking, biking, and horseback riding.

Although Loveland may be best known nationally for its outdoor amenities Loveland is quickly becoming recognized nationally and internationally for its art! In 2005, John Villani, published his fourth edition of "The 100 Best Art Towns in America" and named Loveland as the number two town, only behind Santa Fe, NM. With over 200 unique sculpture pieces, three major art shows a year, two of North America's largest foundries and two sculpture parks it is easy to understand why Loveland has become an established arts community.
