Recreation at Wild Horse Reservoir

Potential recreational activities for the proposed Wild Horse Reservoir.

Providing recreational opportunities in Park County at the proposed reservoir site is an important part of Aurora Water’s planning efforts. We are exploring potential activities—such as fishing, boating, hiking, and wildlife viewing—that would complement existing amenities at nearby reservoirs.

Working in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management, Park County, and Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Aurora Water is developing a draft recreational plan that identifies appropriate and sustainable uses for the site. The plan will undergo public review and input as part of the environmental review process. While final recreation opportunities will depend on that process and partnerships with managing agencies, public input will play a key role in shaping the plan.
