Wolford Reservoir

Muddy Creek water five miles north of Kremmling, with a River District ramp, campground, and marina.

Wolford Mountain Reservoir is Colorado River District water in Grand County. Usable storage reaches a spillway elevation of about 7,489 feet, and the pool moves. Motorboats launch only at the main ramp, and every motorized boat needs an aquatic nuisance species inspection before it goes in. The River District does not publish a wakeboat or ballast ban. Posted no-wake zones and Colorado boating rules still apply. This page does not confirm that wakesurfing is allowed.
