Boulder Reservoir is located just north of Boulder.
Head Northeast on the Diagonal Highway then west on Jay Road, your
first right on 51st. will take you to the entrance. Boulder Reservoir
is open year round. When there are not any lifeguards on duty, the
in gate will be closed, but the out gate will be open. People can
drive in the out gate in the off season. The city of Boulder charges
a fee at the gate. Please see our map.
Description
Boulder Reservoir is a wonderful place to paddle. The water is clean, there are
sand beaches all along the South shore. There are playgrounds, floating
platforms to relax on, and lots of sun. There are motor boats that use this
reservoir. Sailboats may be rented. The City of Boulder rents out areas
of the Reservoir to private parties, so you may not always have run of the
entire area. There is a food consession above the swimming area that is
open for the summer. Early and late season, there are times when the entire
reservoir is rented to an event. KBCO Kinetics is one of those events. At
these times gate fees may be much higher. There may be some great bands
playing out there too.
