Beginning this week, Denver Water will close all recreation access to Gross Reservoir as contractors build access improvements on the north side of the reservoir ahead of the upcoming boating season. These improvements are needed to accommodate the shift in recreation access due to closures on the south side of the reservoir for the duration of the project.
The full recreation closure will occur in phases:
- A full closure will occur May 4 through the afternoon of May 6 to prepare for work. Recreation access on the north side of the reservoir will reopen for the weekend of May 7-8.
- A full closure will begin again May 9 and is expected to be in place until May 20.
- Work during the closure will include a new parking area, trail handrails, improvements to trail and access road surfacing, boat ramp construction and new signage.
