We parked at the trailhead that is on prospect just past the orthopedic center on the left (north) side of the road. There are trash cans at the trail head and also dog poop bags available at the trailhead. This is a leashed dog area. There are all kinds of people and dogs that seem to frequent this area. There is also a bunch of birds and can frequently see people out there bird watching. It is a beautiful little area and a nice local go to when you just want a walk or the hiking trails are closed due to mud.

I enjoyed a…read morebeautiful sunset and the sounds of lots of bird species... and sadly also the sound of cars and lots of loud sirens close by as well.... You can walk all the way around the larger lake and it looks like they allow fishing. Parking is free! So glad they have kept this little wetland habitat protected

Just had my second visit to Horsetooth! The first time following all of the spring rains mid June I…read morewas impressed by how much the landscape resembled part of Oregon I traveled through on a road trip (Lowell) This last time over Labor Day weekend however, with the water levels lower by a hundred feet, for a moment it occurred to me they decided to put a more traditional "beach" area there. The water had been up to the rocks near the parking area at the South Bay swim area. In the late summer, it had more of the expected high desert vibe. It's nice that they have a no-wake area for paddle boarders and swimmers. Although it is a reservoir, the ugly wall is not a prominent visual feature like ie: Cherry Creek reservoir. I enjoy how this one is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains. Next time, I am absolutely bringing a paddle board. This time however, I was amused and inspired by one man who was not immediately deterred by the fact that he fell off his again and again. When he finally gave up, he had the same problem with his inner tube. The bathrooms/showers were not disgusting but I wasn't so sure how sanitary those children's diapers were in the water. .

Tons of options for hiking. My only gripe is the paid parking, but that seems typical for the…read morearea. Trails around the reservoir were fun and varied from rocky beaches, to steep grades, to rocks you could boulder or climb. The trails were well kept and they were not crowded. I'll have to check it out on a warmer day. There were a few people doing photo shoots while we were there also.

The boat was beautiful, clean and in great condition. It had great features like a grill onboard and a water slide that really rounded out the experience. Brett was our captain and he was funny, charming, and took great care of us. He also was so helpful in organizing details beforehand (meeting location, what we had to bring, etc.) The cost was incredibly reasonable per person, and our group is already talking about our trip next summer. I've rented from other outlets on Horsetooth before, and this experience was SO MUCH BETTER. Thank you so much Brett!!!!

She was pretty clueless in the whole fly fishing guide experience but Adam was very quick to put her at ease with all the arrangements. Adam arrived early with a big smile on his face and off we went. We fished the tail water of the Big Thompson and the best part of it all was that we caught fish! It was a great day and I know Adam went out of his way to make sure I had an awesome time. One thing I have to mention is that Adam even went out of his way and picked me up from our rental cabin so my wife wouldn't be without a car while we were out fishing...Who does that??? Thanks Adam for the memories of the day.
