Heads up: Ongoing paving in the area may temporarily affect access to South Bay and Inlet Bay at Horsetooth Reservoir and to North Pines at Carter Lake. Watch for signage, and keep in mind that ramps may also be closed due to weather, water level, or staffing. We appreciate your patience, it will be worth the wait!

ANS vessel inspections are required at both reservoirs. Your smoothest window is 9 a.m.–3 p.m., especially early in the season. Note that decontaminations are not available after dark.

Public Affairs isn’t the only way the Auxiliary shares boating safety, but it’s one of the most visible! ⚓

Through the Auxiliary Partner Visitation program, local businesses, marinas, and offices host displays stocked with safety materials for the public to take, such as:
• PFD guides
• ECOS pamphlets
• VHF radio tips
• State & federal boating regulations

Keeping boaters informed and safe, one display at a time!
