Clear Creek Reservoir - Chaffee County, Colorado My Two Best Photos Today I visited Clear Creek Canyon in north Chaffee County. I merely walked along the reservoir's northern edge and snapped photos. I noticed three people fishing on the lakeside and one person fished in a kayak where the lake had completely thawed. Temperatures are warming in Colorado, but as you can see, things take their good ol' time warming up in Colorado's high country. Above is the view facing (west) into the canyon leading to Vicksburg and Winfield.

Facing east. As I stood, I could hear the crackling and crumbling of ice and snow falling into the water. :)

This is a very popular area for fishing, boating and camping. As the sign states, the boating season begins on May 7 and ends on September 27.
For those of you who live out of town and vacation and/or camp in this area, here is your fix of Colorado scenery! :)
Let the spring thaw continue!

I noticed this section with thick ice and snow. Every few seconds I could hear the crashing or cracking of ice somewhere on the reservoir! :)
