The cove so popular with both paddleboarders and anglers has been closed to motorized boats since last summer, but Larimer County has decided to reopen it until the start of the summer season.
The county will also be launching a "paddler volunteer program" to educate lake users on safety.
At a community forum Tuesday to discuss management of the reservoir, Dan Rieves, Horsetooth District Manager, emphasized that people are also free to fish Satanka year-round; they'll just have to do it from shore or a non-motorized vessel like a kayak during the summer.
No other restrictions are being made elsewhere on the lake, and the county has set up a social media site for continued Q&A. Among other things, the county will not be introducing a timed-entry system similar to ones at Rocky Mountain National Park and Mount Evans. About two-thirds of people responding to the community survey were opposed to the idea, meant to reduce crowding and user conflicts.
