Recreating on agricultural water reservoirs hampered this summer

Recreating on reservoirs or camping near a picturesque lake this summer in a time of extreme drought in Northwest Colorado may require more forethought than a glance at a map. Multiple agricultural use reservoirs in and near Routt County have already dropped to extremely low levels much earlier than in past years.
Local water officials say some key agricultural-use reservoirs, such as Stillwater Reservoir, which serves South Routt County ranchers, only filled to 34% of its acre-feet capacity this year. In other words, the reservoir started the summer as low as it normally is in the fall following the irrigation season, said Andi Schaffner, secretary for reservoir owner Bear River Reservoir Co. Schaffner, a Yampa resident, said 129-acre Stillwater has been used for agricultural irrigation since the 1940s and usually fills to at least 60% capacity.

5 Spots in Rocky Mountain National Park That Don't Require a Permit

5 Permit-Less Alternatives to Hiking Rocky Mountain National Park This Summer
Fire damage and COVID-19 will make snagging backcountry camping permits at RMNP even more difficult this year. Luckily, Colorado is filled with world-class backpacking destinations. Here are some of our paperwork-friendly favorites. Nicholas Hunt •
Editor’s note 3/18/21: After heightened demand for backcountry camping permits crashed Rocky Mountain National Park’s website twice this month, the park has now pivoted to an online lottery system for claiming permits. Names can be entered in the lottery system through Sunday, March 21 at 5 p.m. Find updates and more information online.
Landing your dream backpacking trip in Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) isn’t quite as unlikely as winning Mega Millions—but it’s always been difficult. Peak-season permits go on sale March 1 at 8 a.m. sharp, and in a normal year, dozens of diehards would be lined up outside the park’s permit office near the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center for the in-person lottery, hoping to gain a needed edge (one the National Park Service says doesn’t exist) over the thousands of would-be adventurers booking online.
