Evergreen Lake, a popular recreation area, was created by damming Bear Creek in 1927. It sits above downtown Evergreen, which includes a mix of historic buildings and local businesses.

In the winter, ice skating is offered at Evergreen Lake. The skating season usually runs from mid-to-late December (approximately Christmas) to late March depending upon ice thickness and weather. Evergreen Lake is the venue of the annual Skate the Lake celebration that takes place on New Year's Eve and the Evergreen Pond Hockey Championship which usually takes place in the first weekend of January.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://drive-smart.org/skate-the-lake/|title=Skate the Lake|date=2013-11-21|newspaper=Drive Smart|access-date=2017-02-22|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Evergreen Pond Hockey Championship |url=https://www.evergreenrecreation.com/Facilities/Evergreen_Lake_House/Evergreen_Pond_Hockey_Championship.htm |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20190318232753/https://www.evergreenrecreation.com/Facilities/Evergreen_Lake_House/Evergreen_Pond_Hockey_Championship.htm |archive-date=2019-03-18 |access-date=2025-01-20 |website=www.evergreenrecreation.com}}</ref>
