Lemon Reservoir is a man-made reservoir located near Durango, Colorado. The reservoir was constructed in 1963 and is named after a local rancher, John Lemon. The reservoir is fed by the Hermosa Creek, a tributary of the Animas River, and the hydrology of the region is influenced by snowpack from the San Juan Mountains. The surface flow of the reservoir is regulated by a dam, and the water is used for irrigation and municipal purposes. The snowpack also serves as a source of water for the reservoir, and the region's agriculture and recreational activities rely on this water source. Lemon Reservoir is popular for fishing and camping, and also serves as a source of drinking water for the town of Durango.
