Outdoor activities
"Anglers and writers consistently tout Eleven Mile's large reservoir for its outstanding fishing. When not reeling in a trophy rainbow, brown, cutthroat, kokanee or pike, there are nearly five miles of scenic hiking and biking trails that await exploration. Canoe the day away around the shores of the backcountry. Fish from the shoreline or troll from a boat while enjoying scenic vistas. Ideal wind conditions make Eleven Mile a popular, but not overly crowded destination for sailing, windsurfing and winter ice boating on this wide open reservoir. Motor boaters and kayakers also find plenty of room to play during the summer months. Many species of birds reside in or migrate through the park, making for wonderful bird watching. Waterfowl hunting chances for a wide variety of ducks are excellent and are available each fall."

"World class Gold Medal trout fishing awaits beneath the waters of Spinney Reservoir. For gold medal fishing, it would be hard to find any that is better than Spinney Mountain Reservoir. Anglers can find shoreline or fly fishing, belly boating or trolling opportunities in a setting that is both peaceful and scenic."

"The shallowness of this reservoir makes it relatively warm for the location and altitude. This makes for exceptionally large, fast growing fish. Antero Reservoir is owned by Denver Water and overseen by Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Because it is not a state park there are no fees for entry. Fishing is year round , with ice fishing in the winter."
