Some activities for you to partake in at nearby Smith Reservoir this summer:

Birding: The Smith Reservoir State Wildlife Area is a highlight for those birding within the San Luis Valley. Visitors are likely to spot terns, gulls, hawks, herons, ducks, geese, and more as the area is home to nearly every waterfowl species in Colorado.

Boating: There are two boat ramps located near the parking area on the southwest shore of the reservoir. Both motorized and non-motorized boats are permitted on the Smith Reservoir, with many visitors fishing from kayaks and canoes.

Camping: There are three designated dispersed, primitive camping areas available for visitors along the shorelines roads of the Smith Reservoir SWA. At the sites, there is plenty of room for both large RVs and tent camping. Camping is first-come, first-served, and is free to those with a valid Colorado hunting/fishing or Public Lands license.

Fishing: Fishing is permitted year-round, and Smith Reservoir is popular for ice fishing when the water freezes over. However, from November 1 until the last day of the waterfowl season, fishing is only permitted within 200 yards of the dam. Most commonly, licensed anglers may catch several species of stocked trout in the Smith Reservoir and surrounding creeks.

Hunting: Locally licensed hunters flock to Smith Reservoir for some of the best waterfowl hunting in southern Colorado. Beyond this, the area is also good for permitted hunting of big game like elk and moose in the nearby Rio Grande and San Isabel National Forests.

Wildlife Viewing: Within the Smith Reservoir State Wildlife Area, many animal species can be viewed from a safe distance. Most commonly, visitors may see coyotes, pronghorn, deer, and rabbits around the reservoir.
