State Forest State Park announces North Michigan Reservoir is full, stocked with fish, and open for recreation. In addition to the reservoir, campsites in the North Michigan campground closed during construction will be open and available for reservations this summer. The high country lake west of Fort Collins is a popular destination for Loveland Fishing Club members.
"We are excited the dam has been revitalized for the future and the reservoir refilled," said State Forest State Park Manager Joe Brand. "We are thankful for all those who contributed to the swift maintenance of the dam to ensure public safety, and looking forward to recreation users being able to enjoy North Michigan Reservoir once again."
The 60-foot-high dam at North Michigan Reservoir was originally built in 1963. The reservoir stores approximately 1,300 acre-feet of water. Worsening seepage conditions on the north abutment were identified in 2015. The discovery resulted in the prioritization of maintenance efforts at the dam to address developing safety concerns. Rehabilitation work on the dam at North Michigan Reservoir began in March of 2021, closing the lake to boating and several nearby campsites for the summer season.
