About the conejos river
The Conejos River originates in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado and flows through the Conejos Valley, eventually joining the Rio Grande in New Mexico. It stretches for 92 miles and has a rich history as a vital water source for early settlers and Native American tribes. The river supports several reservoirs, including the Platoro Reservoir and the Terrace Reservoir, which were built for irrigation and flood control purposes. These reservoirs also provide recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping. The Conejos River is also used for agricultural purposes, supporting the growth of hay, alfalfa, and other crops in the surrounding valley. The river's flow is heavily influenced by snowmelt and precipitation, with peak flows occurring in late spring and early summer.
