rocky mountains blanketed in soaring pine
forests. Just off Highway 88, about 40 miles

roasting some marshmallows, you can watch
the day fade over the mountains, knowing
that new paddling adventures await each
morning. As you leisurely paddle the
reservoir's picturesque shores, keep an eye
out for the abundant wildlife in the
surrounding forests.

hazardous afternoon wind conditions.
Additionally, the reservoir's ice-cold water
temperatures can be a drawback for some.

paddling destination, with its wonderful
combination of water activities and
tranquility, is sure to both relax and
delight kayakers, canoers, anglers, and SUP
