Culver is a small farming community nestled in a fertile valley 2,633 feet above sea level.Summer is usually dry and sunny rarely exceeding 100 degrees while the nights are cool. Winter brings temperatures that can dip into the twenties at night, but usually warm up into the forties during the day. We usually see some snow but the average is only about 6 inches. Just 10 minutes from the Cove Palisades State Park and Lake Billy Chinook, Culver is a recreational paradise. The opportunities for fishing, boating, water skiing and wakeboarding, camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities are endless. Lake Billy Chinook attracts close to a half-million visitors a year.
