Crystal Reservoir is a man-made lake located in Pitkin County, Colorado. The reservoir was constructed in 1961 on the Crystal River for the purpose of providing water storage for municipal, industrial, and agricultural uses. The reservoir has a capacity of 22,000 acre-feet and is fed by snowpack and surface flows from the surrounding mountains. The water is primarily used for irrigation of farmlands in the Crystal Valley and for the city of Aspen's municipal water supply. Recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping are also popular at the reservoir. The Crystal River is a vital source of water for the surrounding communities and is closely monitored to ensure sustainable use.
