Lake Dillon

Please join us for a paddle and picnic on Lake Dillon – a scenic treasure in Summit County, CO. This Denver Water reservoir is surrounded by the mountains of the Ten Mile Range, the Continental Divide, and the Gore Range. We’ll enjoy a morning paddle from the Giberson Bay Day use area. This is an ACA-sanctioned trip which requires either an ACA membership or $10 for insurance.

Note that we have changed the meeting place from the marina to the Giberson Bay Day use area, it is on the the Dillon Dam road that runs between Frisco and Dillion. When you exit (203) the interstate at frisco, go to the first stop light and turn left, there is a starbucks at the intersection…travel east about a mile, watch for a large forest service sign on the right that says Giberson Bay. The access road will lead to down to the lake.  We can canoe the shore line thru some islands and also cut across open water if it is calm. We should be able to see some eagles and ospreys. Currently the lake is a couple feet short of topping off. Trip CoordinatorTom Hronk will be in a burgundy chevy van.

• The Reservoir spans 3,300 acres and boasts 27 miles of shoreline surrounded by majestic peaks.
• At 9,017 ft. in elevation, the boating season is weather dependent, but typically runs from early June to early or mid-September.
• Dillon Reservoir is also a world class destination for sailing and regattas are regularly held on the reservoir.”
