Review:
Dillon Reservoir, also known as Lake Dillon, is a manmade freshwater reservoir in Summit County bordering the towns of Dillon, Frisco, and Silverthorne. The reservoir, which was constructed in 1963, serves as a municipal reservoir for the city, operated under the supervision of Denver Water. Visitors can enjoy a plethora of outdoor activities at the site throughout the year, including boating, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing at the beachfront areas of the reservoir.
Seven miles of hiking and biking trails are offered throughout the recreational area around the reservoir, with more than 350 campsites available for tent and RV hookups. Waterfowl hunting and cross-country skiing are permitted at designated areas, with a number of special events hosted at the reservoir each year, including an annual Fourth of July fireworks display.
