*** About Curecanti National Recreation Area: Curecanti National Recreation Area is a treasure of western Colorado, encompassing a series of three reservoirs along the once wild Gunnison River. Formed by the Blue Mesa, Morrow Point, and Crystal dams, this area is a hub for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, hiking, and wildlife viewing. The Blue Mesa Reservoir is the largest body of water in Colorado and a critical habitat for the Kokanee Salmon. The surrounding scenery of steep mesa sides and narrow canyons serves not only as a haven for outdoor enthusiasts but also as a reminder of the natural beauty and geological history of the region. The area was designated for recreational use in 1965, aspiring to balance human recreation with conservation and wildlife protection.
