About This State Wildlife Area
State Wildlife Areas are critical habitat areas for Colorado’s wildlife. Sportspeople’s license and recreational user pass fees pay for these parcels of land, which are managed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife employees for the benefit of our wildlife. A valid hunting or fishing license OR SWA pass is required for everyone 16 or older to visit most SWAs, and visitors should check current hunting, fishing and land use regulations when planning to visit a State Wildlife Area.
Public access governed by perpetual easement between Montezuma Valley Irrigation Co. and the State. Fisheries maintained by a minimum conservation pool. Inlet fed by Dolores River. Water fluctuation extremes have lessened productivity of lake in the past, but extremes should not be as severe since the McPhee Reservoir will add more irrigation water to the drainage and help stabilize this reservoir. Area surrounding impoundment is agricultural. Used mostly by Colorado residents.

Leave No Trace
When visiting state lands, remember to practice the seven Leave No Trace principles. Travel and park on durable surfaces, including established parking spots and campsites, and stay on areas of rock, gravel, and dry grasses or snow. Remember to pack out what you packed in. When shooting is permitted on a property, pick up your spent shells, target remnants, clays and carry our trash or anything else you brought with you.
