Loveland Reservoir

*Closure Notice:

Due to safety concerns, the Recreation Program at Loveland Reservoir is closed until further notice. Recent rains caused significant erosion in the Recreation Program area at Loveland Reservoir. For the safety of the community, the program will remain closed until further notice. Sweetwater Authority staff will be assessing the damage and evaluating options for repairs in the coming months. 

The water level at Loveland Reservoir is currently low due to the statewide drought, and a controlled water transfer to Sweetwater Reservoir to supplement the sources of drinking water for Sweetwater Authority. Fishing is not currently available.

Hiking

The Loveland Reservoir recreation access area includes trails along the shoreline. These areas can be a great spot to experience some of indigenous wildlife and animal species.

To preserve natural habitats, maintain water quality and protect visitors, please obey all posted rules. 

Birdwatching

Sweetwater and Loveland Reservoir properties both support diverse bird populations, thanks in part to the range of habitats that exists in and around these reservoirs. Many of these birds can be found from public access areas. Learn more at the link below.
