Aurora Reservoir is a popular destination for trout anglers in the Denver metro area and only allows electric motors which can make this lake difficult to navigate by boat on windy days. The lake provides a large swim beach with many spots for picnicking, many day use areas and shelters, a sand volleyball court, boat rentals, restrooms, a playground, a windsurfing beach, a scuba area, and an archery range. An 8-mile-long trail system around the lake provides easy access to spots along the shoreline. From E-470 take Quincy Ave 2 1/4 miles east to Powhaton. Go south on Powhaton 1 1/4 miles to entrance.
