Seaman Reservoir, Protected reservoir in Poudre Canyon, Colorado.
Seaman Reservoir is a water body in Poudre Canyon surrounded by steep rock walls that vary in height from 6 to 70 feet depending on water levels. The basin sits where the North Fork and Poudre River meet and forms an important part of the local water system.
The site was originally a city water filtration facility at the junction where the two streams meet. Today it functions as a protected natural area, preserving this location for recreation and conservation.
Local fishing enthusiasts gather at Seaman Reservoir to catch brown trout, rainbow trout, and yellow perch throughout the seasons.
Access starts from Gateway Natural Area, where you walk about 1 mile on a flat dirt path to reach the water. The route is straightforward and easy to navigate for most visitors.
The area features multiple connected trails, including the Black Powder Trail, which offers views across the entire Poudre Canyon system. These additional routes let visitors explore the landscape from different vantage points.
