A great place for family and friends gatherings. Swimming is allowed at a designated place. Be ready to pay $ 10 at the entrance though.

If you want to enjoy beaches in Denver, aurora reservoir is one of the few options we have. It is located in the outskirts of Arapahoe County and easily accessible. The beaches are reasonably clean and you can boat swim and fish with your family...Read More

Great place to catch some sun. They have a beach area. You can rent paddle boards or kayaks per hour. Kayaks are $20 an hour. The time flys so keep track of your time on the water. Lots of parking. Definitely highly recommend this location...Read More

As a native of Colorado, surprisingly, I've never been here. I came out for a birthday party and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of open space on the beach and throughout the park. There was plenty of parking, paved ramps leading to the beach,...Read More

This place was great. The park rangers were on top of keeping people safe, there was plenty of room and the atmosphere was nice. They also give veterans deals on the park pass and annual pass which I appreciate at a veteran. We are excited...Read More

Hidden gem of Aurora! The water is so nice and not murky unlike Chatfield! A LOT of parking even if you decide to show up before noon. Has swim beach and boat ramp as well as concessions and rentals. Will definitely be coming out here...Read More

A wonderful lake for relaxation! The water is clean, you can ride or rent boats, and there’s plenty of fish — people even catch crayfish. The area feels safe with security and Malibu-style lifeguards. Beautiful nature and a very comfortable atmosphere!

Actual sand and clean clear water. They enforce lifejacket rules on kayak/paddle boards strictly so come prepared

This is my new favorite place. It's peaceful and clean. I Love that there are so many rangers patrolling during the weekends when it's busy. Definitely feels safe if there were an emergency.

Great family reservoir. Nice for water sports because there are no gas boats allowed. The swim beach is for littles not really for bigger kids. Includes a great 6 mile+ bike ride around the res. Not super hilly so not difficult but plenty of wildlife...Read More

Great place for paddle boarding, wind surfing, kayaks, and anything without a gas motor. Nice swimming beach with a lifeguard until 6 pm. The water and beach are patrolled throughout the day so the entire area is free of trash.

It was great. I'm glad that I'm getting a chance to enjoy it with the family before it is destroyed by fracking next year (2026). People are trying to fight against it, but hasn't worked for the last 3 years. So, chances are that it'll...Read More
