The river is dammed by the Dillon Reservoir, which affects the flow and temperature of the water. In the summer, the flow typically increases due to increased snowmelt and runoff, while in the winter, the flow decreases due to freezing temperatures. The river is a popular destination for recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and rafting. Interestingly, the Blue River is home to a variety of fish species, including rainbow and brown trout, and is a popular spot for fly fishing.
