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:
Dam foundation preparation, quarrying and site preparation activities involving drilling and blasting are scheduled to begin at Gross Reservoir on April 12. These activities will take place near the dam and at the on-site quarry located near the former Osprey Point Boat Launch, as well as at on-site access roads and staging areas. Please note:
An amended quarry application to the Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining for Young Ranch is available for review at the Clerk's Office (March 2022 edition).
Comprehensive primary care services will soon be much more available to residents of the mountain communities across Boulder and Gilpin Counties. Clinica Family Health is pleased to announce plans to open two primary care clinic locations in Nederland and central Gilpin County.
As a reminder, Denver Water has temporarily closed 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.
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.
