Description




Formed along the Colorado River, the reservoir serves as a dedicated hub for non-motorized water recreation, accommodating canoes, paddleboards, kayaks, and organized rowing regattas. On land, the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail traces the shore with wide paved and gravel paths that comfortably handle two-way traffic for runners, cyclists, and dog walkers.
