Description
Who needs an ocean when you've got a reservoir? With a sandy beach ideal for picnicking and sunbathing, and cool waters perfect for swimming and sailing, Boulder Reservoir is the place to be when the mercury rises. During summer, sailing lessons are available, and a concession stand offers snacks when you've worked up an appetite after a good swim. There's not a lot of shade out here, and the Colorado sun can be brutal, so don't forget the sunscreen and a hat.
