Fruitgrowers Reservoir is a man-made reservoir located in Delta County, Colorado. The reservoir was created in 1906 by the Fruitgrowers Dam which was built across Surface Creek, a tributary of the Gunnison River. The reservoir is able to store up to 8,232 acre-feet of water and serves the agricultural needs of the surrounding area. The water in the reservoir comes from both surface flow and snowpack, with the majority of the water coming from snowmelt in the surrounding mountains. The reservoir is used to irrigate farms in the area and also provides recreational opportunities such as fishing and boating. The reservoir is managed by the Fruitgrowers Reservoir Company, a cooperative of local farmers, and is a vital resource for the agricultural community in the area.
