Also known as Timber Lake, this large reservoir has been dry for a few years. When it has water, it can be great for shorebirds and waterfowl, in season. Check the DOW fishing page for updates on water level.

Habitat: Pond/Lake/Reservoir, Tamarisk, Grassland/Prairie

Directions: From La Junta, head north and then east on CO 109 to the town of Cheraw. Continue east through Cheraw to CR 33 and turn left (north). This road curves around to the northeast and becomes CR 810 (Timber Lake Road), reaching the reservoir about ten miles from Cheraw.
