There's nothing like chilling out by the water while you're on vacation. Bring a picnic to Meridian Lake and then stay for a pretty sunset.
You'll be spoiled for sightseeing choice when staying in Crested Butte. Meridian Lake is a great place to kick off here, but there are lots of other worthy sights to explore. Crested Butte Town Park, Mario Land, and Center for the Arts are not far from the body of water and will fill in your day nicely.
