This scenic Colorado reservoir is located in a remote part of the Arapaho National Recreation Area, just outside the western boundary of the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area. The size of this reservoir varies in surface acres depending on the current draw down. Being restricted to non-motorized watercraft makes it a popular location for those who prefer fishing, canoeing or kayaking in an undeveloped area.
