Reservoir Closure -

Reservoir closed to all boats and paddle craft.
 

Perimeter Trail Closure -

Beginning December 12, multiple day use areas, group picnic facilities, trails and shoreline access at the southwest corner of the reservoir will be closed due to dead and dying tree removal operations. For your safety, please use other picnic and day use facilities in the park during this closure. Trail use in the area must be avoided or rerouted to the bike lanes on the park road. For more information, please visit www.chatfieldreallocation.org.

Parking Area Closed for Construction -

The South lot of the Gravel Ponds Parking Area will be closed this winter from mid-November through spring for construction operations related to shoreline erosion control and access improvements. The North and Middle lots will remain open for use, but watch for construction traffic. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause as we work to improve the facilities and ensure the sustainability of our natural resources.
