Anglers fishing Spinney Reservoir

Spinney Mountain Reservoir is open for boating.  See below for further details.


For gold medal fishing, it’d be hard to find any better than Spinney Mountain Reservoir.  Anglers can find shoreline or fly fishing, belly boating or trolling opportunities in a peaceful and scenic setting. Check the Conditions page for current fishing conditions.

This isolated retreat is ideal for visitors seeking beautiful views of the Collegiate Mountain Range or just a little solitude from busy city life.  Birders have plenty to see between the ducks, waders and birds of prey.  Boating enthusiasts can enjoy the 2,500 surface-acre reservoir with two boat ramps that are available depending upon water levels.
 
In order to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species - particularly zebra and quagga mussels - mandatory inspections of all vessels, including belly boats and float tubes are now being conducted at the entrance station and must be completed satisfactorily prior to launching on the reservoir. See the boating and fishing pages for further information.
From Ice-Off to Ice-On

Spinney is open seasonally. Open dates, subject to change, are about April 15th to about November 15th annually. 

The lake is open to all boating and both boat ramps are open for use.  Boaters are advised that by law in order to be allowed on the reservoir every trailered vessel must be inspected.  In order to be inspected 1) the hull of every trailered vessel must be free of all debris, mud and ice and 2) the interior of every trailered vessel must be cleaned, drained and dry prior to the inspection and regardless of prevailing weather conditions.  It is up to each operator to make sure that his vessel meets these required conditions before being inspected.
