Project closes tailwater section of Stagecoach




Colorado Parks and Wildlife has closed the 0.6-mile tailwater section of Stagecoach State Park to all public access for a scheduled fishery and habitat restoration project, according to a press release.



It will remain closed for the remainder of the year.
The public is asked to use caution as heavy equipment and other materials for the project may be moved into the area prior to the closure.


Routt County Road 18 to Sarvis Creek and Pleasant Valley will remain open through the fall; however, parking along the county road is prohibited. Hunters accessing the Blacktail Mountain Conservation Easement can find alternate parking locations for the 2013 hunting seasons at the dam parking lot and the C.R.18 parking lot.

In addition, hunters may access the Blacktail Mountain Conservation Easement via the Adams State Wildlife Area off C.R. 14.
The tailwater restoration project will restore habitat and improve the overall fishery resource. The project’s goals include creating specific angler access points that will minimize stream bank erosion and preserve the area for future generations.


The cooperative project with the Upper Yampa Water Conservancy District is being funded through Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s Fishing is Fun Program, Yampa Valley Land Trust, Trout Unlimited and private donors.


For the latest information about the project, visit http://www.parks.state.co.us/Parks/stagecoach/Pages/StagecoachStatePark.aspx, call Stagecoach State Park at 970-736-2436 or contact aquatic biologist Bill Atkinson at 970-871-2868.
