Douglas Reservoir State Wildlife Area "closed temporarily"

Nov. 10, 2023: LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. – The Douglas Reservoir State Wildlife Area will be closed  temporarily until a new lease is signed between Colorado Parks and Wildlife and the property owners. Negotiations have been ongoing for months, but the renewed lease was not finalized before the previous agreement expired on October 31. Due to safety and liability concerns, CPW properties require active leases for recreation operations to resume. The SWA will reopen when the new lease is complete.

(Editor's note: it's not at all clear that this means an agreement has been reached in some fashion. This is how we lost Lone Tree Reservoir a few years ago)

  1. Is it possible to post the phone numbers for the agency overseeing the negotiation process so people can express their concern?

  2. Goose hunting in Colorado can be a thrilling experience, especially during the migration seasons when flocks of geese fill the skies.
