Crawford Reservoir is a man-made lake located in Delta County, Colorado. It was built in 1961 for the purpose of irrigation and to provide water for agricultural use in the surrounding area. The reservoir is fed by surface water from the Smith Fork of the Gunnison River and snowpack from the nearby Grand Mesa. The hydrology of the reservoir is closely monitored by the Colorado Division of Water Resources. The water from Crawford Reservoir is used for irrigation of crops such as alfalfa, potatoes, and orchards in the surrounding area. The reservoir also provides recreational opportunities for fishing, boating, and camping. The reservoir is managed by the Crawford Reservoir Water Users Association, and its water is an important resource for the local agricultural community.
