Hi Belinda Spillman - Many fresh drinking water reservoirs don't allow much recreation. Hats off to Aurora for allowing a lot of recreation.  Residents and potential buyers should be very pleased! Great beach!

It looks like a beautiful place to visit, i do like the rules to keep the water clean. The 2.3% beer though is strange, what if they bring 30 of them? Our spring got interrupted by winter Belinda Spillman

Hi Belinda - Good information. In a metro area as large as Denver, restrictions like that make a lot of sense and keep the reservoir usable for everyone.

Looks like a nice place to relax.  Didn't know 2.3 beer could be bought on anything other than a military PX
