Most Front Range lakes are reservoirs owned by a ditch company, an HOA or a city. The owner of the water sets the rules for boats, docks and access, so read those rules before you buy the house.
Where are they?
- Bow Mar, Littleton. Bowles and Marston lakes. Residents-only lake access.
- Grant Ranch, Littleton. Private lake with a marina.
- Lake Arbor, Arvada. Homes around Lake Arbor.
- Pelican Lakes, Windsor. Lake-and-golf community.
- Heron Lakes, Berthoud. Resident access to three reservoirs.
- Richards Lake and Terry Lake, Fort Collins. Lake neighborhoods on the north side.
What buyers ask.
- Can I put a boat or a dock on the lake? Only if the lake's rules allow it. Ask the HOA or the ditch company for the boating rules in writing.
- Who owns the water? The ditch company, the HOA or the city. The seller's title work names the owner.
- Do the lake levels drop? Reservoir levels move with irrigation releases. Ask the owner of the water for past levels.
- Do I need flood insurance? Check the FEMA flood map for the address. Your lender requires flood insurance inside a high-risk zone.
