ELEVEN MILE RESERVOIR in South Park, Colorado! - November 6, 2003
 |
Eleven Mile Reservoir is state park and lake that offers lots of great scenery in southern Park County. |
 |
It's located in the area known as South Park, which is roughly surrounded by Guffey, Hartsel, Wilkerson Pass and Lake George. |
 |
It kinda looks like a beach a little, doesn't it? ;)
Mind you, this is really frigid mountain runoff water. It is extremely cold! :P |
 |
A number of tumbleweeds lay ailing by the lake's edge. |
 |
If you're into fishing, this is probably a really good place to fish. Oh! And that's my imitation of a fish's face! :) |
 |
Just look at those large snowcapped mountains in the background. Sheeesh! Those peaks are about 30 to 50 miles away! |
 |
I got a shot of a bird flying across! |
 |
Pictures standing on the south side of the lake. |
 |
The lighting wasn't great, but I really liked this view. |
 |
At the visitor center, there is some interesting history explained in signs. Click each thumbnail to read them close up! |
 |
Folks, it was freezing outside! It was about 35 degrees, but with the windchill I'd say it was around 20. Yeeesh! |
 |
It was so windy! Just look at the waves it created! |
 |
Here's all my pictorials in that area:
Eleven Mile Canyon (Downstream, below the dam)

Hayman Fire at Lake George
Guffey
Wilkerson Pass

 |
If the weather is nice, this is a GREAT SPOT for a picnic! |
 |
From the far southern side of the lake (across from the visitor center), go south on Road 59 and you'll go over a pass that gives you this view of the Sangre de Cristo range. |
 |
And look at all the snow! I truly pity all you Texans out there who never get to see snow! :( |
