The Arvada/Blunn Reservoir site is open to the public for fishing, hiking, and boating. The reservoir serves as an important water source for the city of Arvada, supplying the city with 25% of its drinking water. For this reason, water contact sports such as wind surfing, swimming, water skiing, tubing and scuba diving are not permitted. Because of the relatively small size of the reservoir and for water quality reasons, gas-powered boats are prohibited. However, electric trolling motors are permitted.
Arvada Reservoir is open to fishing seven days a week,
April 1st through May 31st 6:30 A.M. to 7:30 P.M.
June 1st through closing, October 31st 5:30 A.M. to 8:30 P.M.
Getting there: Between Highway 93 and Indiana Street on West 66th. From Denver take 6th Ave west to Golden. Go north on CO-93 to W. 66th Ave. Go right to the entrance on your left.

Annual fishing permits for second or more vehicles or boats owned by the same person may be purchased at 50% of the cost, but must be purchased at the same time that the original permit is purchased.
Boating: Electric Motors Only. Hand-propelled or electric motors only.
Boat fishing in the wildlife area or at other areas marked with buoys is prohibited
Trailer-mounted boats will have a new quarantine period of 14 days. This program involves inspection of the boat and trailer, and the installation of a tag connecting the boat and the trailer demonstrating that the boat has not been launched on another reservoir. Boaters who use Arvada Reservoir exclusively will notice very little impact and in fact if your boat is tagged from last year you do not need to have it re-inspected.
Car top carry boats such as canoes, kayaks, and other small craft that are transported on the top of a vehicle will be inspected on the day of use. If clean and dry, they will be allowed to launch.
Ice Fishing: Not allowed
