Our Story
We Live Here.
We Know Every Trail.
65 years in Lake City. Now family-run by the Benefields.
Often searched as a side-by-side rental, our fleet of Polaris UTVs and Jeep Wranglers is the only one based right in Lake City — not a franchise, not a chain. Lake City Outdoors was built by people who ride these trails every week. We're the only UTV and Jeep outfitter operating right in Lake City, which means we're the closest rental to the Alpine Loop trailhead and the only shop that can give you a real trail briefing from someone who was out there yesterday.
Whether you're a first-timer who's never driven a UTV or a seasoned overlander chasing Engineer Pass, we'll set you up with the right rig and send you out with everything you need to make it a day you'll actually remember.

Had a great experience purchasing my side-by-side here. The sales staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to work with from start to finish. They made the whole buying process smooth and stress-free without making me feel pressured. I'm very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a motorcycle, side-by-side, or snowmobile. Great people and great service!

5 Stars all the way! My wife and I decided to go on an adventure and stopped in to check them out. Service was great, price was great. We were out of there in 30 minutes and went out on a 5 hour exploration of the Rockies. It was a great trail, the most fun I have had in a long time. I highly recommend this business, great value for the money.

Great new ownership! We rented a Wrangler to hike Handies Peak. They let us pick it up at close the night before since we were leaving for the hike at 5am. Made the drive to and from Handies easy and a lot of fun! Highly recommend!
