Taylor Park Reservoir At Taylor Park
Taylor Park Reservoir is a popular recreational site located in Taylor Park, Colorado. It was created in 1937 with the construction of the Taylor Park Dam on the Taylor River. The reservoir has a capacity of 106,230 acre-feet and serves as a source of water for hydroelectric power generation and irrigation for the surrounding agricultural lands. The area receives an average of 250 inches of snowfall annually, which is a vital source of water for the reservoir. The snowmelt from the surrounding mountain ranges feeds the Taylor River, which flows into the reservoir. The reservoir is a popular fishing spot, with rainbow, brown, and lake trout being the most common species. Additionally, the reservoir offers various recreational activities such as camping, hiking, boating, and hunting.

About Taylor Park Reservoir At Taylor Park
Where does the data for Taylor Park Reservoir At Taylor Park come from?
Daily storage, pool elevation, and release rates are sourced from USGS, USBR, and USACE monitoring stations. Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
Storage observations are updated daily by the operating agency. The 15-day weather forecast refreshes throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- check the "as of" timestamp on the storage card.
What does the Hazard hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this reservoir, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
