Colorado Lakes: What's Open, What is Closed?

In this episode, I provide info on open and closed boat ramps and marinas at the most popular sailing lakes in Colorado. The winter of 2025-2026 saw record low snowpack in the Rocky Mountains and the lack of precipitation is having a grave impact on boating and recreation at many lakes in the area. However, there is some good news as several popular Colorado sailing lakes are full or nearly full for the 2026 sailing season.
