Wolford Mountain Reservoir, body of water
Wolford Mountain Reservoir is an artificial lake located north of Kremmling in Colorado, surrounded by hills and mountain scenery. The water is used for agricultural and municipal storage while providing space for fishing, boating, and various water sports throughout the year.
The reservoir was completed in the mid-1990s as part of Colorado's water management infrastructure. Since its creation, it has served the region as a storage facility while becoming a center for outdoor recreation.
The reservoir serves as a gathering place for anglers and water sports enthusiasts from the surrounding region. Local guides have established themselves here, passing down fishing knowledge and techniques to visitors who return year after year.
The area is accessible year-round with a boat ramp, picnic areas, and camping options nearby. Visitors should note that parking passes are required at certain locations and boats must be inspected for invasive species before launching.
The reservoir operates an unusual incentive program where anglers who catch northern pike receive a twenty dollar reward to help control this non-native species. The program encourages visitors to actively participate in managing the lake's fish populations.
