Reservoir Levels • Weather • Hydrology
Horsetooth Reservoir is a popular recreational area in Colorado, located west of Fort Collins. The reservoir was constructed in 1949 by the Bureau of Reclamation for irrigation purposes, and it has since become a significant source of water for the region. Horsetooth Reservoir is fed by several streams, including Spring Creek and the Cache la Poudre River, which provide the majority of the surface flow. Additionally, snowpack from the surrounding mountains contributes to the reservoir's water levels. The reservoir is used for various recreational activities, such as camping, boating, fishing, and hiking. The water is also used to irrigate agricultural land in the area, supporting the local farming industry.
