Denver Water facilities provide recreational opportunities for everyone, often in conjunction with state and federal offerings. In this section you can find information on bicycling, hiking, camping, fishing, and boating at reservoirs and their surroundings.

Select a site from the list below or the map above, to learn more about activities supported by each location.

Although Denver Water stores water behind Chatfield Dam, we do not manage or maintain recreational services at the reservoir. For information on recreation at Chatfield, call 303-791-7275, e-mail Chatfield Park management, or visit the Colorado State Park Service web site (Chatfield Park page).
For more information on Denver Water's use of Chatfield Reservoir, see our Chatfield FAQ.
