Scenic Lakes and Reservoirs

Colorado's diverse landscape is home to essential water bodies ranging from the high-altitude Dillon Reservoir in Summit County to the expansive McPhee Reservoir in the southwest. This collection features Barker Reservoir near Nederland, a key Front Range water source, and Lake Nighthorse near Durango, created by the 270-foot-high Ridges Basin Dam. These sites serve critical roles in the state's water management while providing recreational access to the Blue River and the plains of Crowley County near Lake Meredith. Each location offers distinct mountain or prairie vistas across the Centennial State.
