Williams Fork Reservoir

Parshall, Grand County, Colorado
Completed in 1959, the Williams Fork Dam is a remarkable engineering feat that plays a crucial role in supplying water and electricity to the West Slope, especially when Denver diverts water. This impressive structure rises 217 feet above the Williams Fork River streambed, creating a vast reservoir that holds nearly 97,000 acre-feet of water. In addition to its water management capabilities, the dam houses a power plant equipped with a 3,158-kilowatt generator, contributing to the region's energy needs. The surrounding area offers a variety of outdoor activities, making it an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts. Visitors can explore nearby hiking trails, enjoy fishing in the reservoir, or take part in water sports during the warmer months. With its unique combination of functionality and natural beauty, the Williams Fork Dam stands as a testament to both human ingenuity and the stunning landscapes of Colorado. Whether you're interested in outdoor adventures or simply appreciating the scenic views, this location has something to offer everyone.
