Ruedi Reservoir
Ruedi Reservoir is a lake and campground outside of Basalt, Colorado. Sailing, swimming, fishing, waterskiing, enjoy it all here.
Boating in the Roaring Fork Valley and Western Slope can mean sailboat, in the case of the Aspen Yacht Club at Ruedi Reservoir, but you’ll also see a lot of fishing boats there, and motorboats for tubing, water skiing, tug surfing and general splashing around.
Non motorized boats are allowed on Harvey Gap. Harvey Gap is a great place for paddle-boarding, beach bumming, swimming, playing with tubes and inflatables, fishing and ice fishing.
Rifle Gap is significantly bigger than Harvey Gap and also has a beach for people who don’t have a boat. Shore fishing, tent and camper camping are other activities at Rifle Gap. Rifle Gap is good fishing, and allows motorized boats for water skiing and tubing. Rifle Gap is also a great place to ice fish.
In the summertime, on the flattops and on the Grand Mesa, there are a number of lakes some of which have fish, while many get too cold in the winter to sustain much aquatic life.
Vega Reservoir is my favorite place to camp and fish.
Paonia Reservoir is murky water but has fish in it and is a great place to go boating and camping with your family.
