Wheelchair Accessible?  The Bennhoff Lake Trail circumnavigates Georgetown Lake.    Thank you to the local resident who brought this lovely trail to my attention. “There is a 1.4 mile trail around Georgetown Lake that is flat, wide and paved with crushed gravel.  There is no erosion.  There is one little steep spot next to the dam.  There is also an accessible platform for fishing.  One side is next to the highway, but on the other side you can pretend it’s not there.” Here is a description from UncoverColorado.
Georgetown makes no claims that this trail is wheelchair accessible.  However the surface is perfect and there are only two short rises.  I have seen steeper trails than this labeled wheelchair accessible.
