Waiting for spring, hoping for North Michigan Reservoir to rebound

Sitting at home waiting for the temperatures around here to get a bit warmer than 10 degrees, I found myself wondering when the construction work on the North Michigan dam would be complete and the lake restocked. Between drought, fire and crowds of Pandemic-driven anglers everywhere, we sorely need access to every available body of water. Anyway, the lake west of Fort Collins has been drained for quite a while now for dam repairs. Found the following on the Colorado State Park website: 

North Michigan Reservoir Dam construction update.

  • Our construction is complete on the dam and the Reservoir is slowly filling. The construction crew will be doing some clean-up in spring 2022, but should not impact camping. 
  • We hope to have enough water from snow runoff at some point to have the Reservoir restocked this summer, however, there are very low water levels on the reservoir at this time.
  • Call us in May about water levels and acceptable water activities. 970-723-8366
