About this Location

Once private, this very birdy reservoir in eastern Larimer County is managed by the Town of Timnath. It is best viewed from the public park on the west side but public roads on the east side also permit views. In addition to attracting numerous waterfowl, gulls and shorebirds in migration periods, the reservoir also attracts breeding grebes (Eared, Western, and Clark's) and in some years, a multi-species heronry.
