Section 4 of the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project Act P.L, 87-590 directed the protection, enhancement and preservation of fish and wildlife, recreation and aesthetic values of the Project. The Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife and the National Park Service provided recommendations and plans for the imple- mentation of these features in compliance with the Act. Public use facilities will be constructed to provide access and to accommodate 980,000 recreation days and 97,300 fisher- men and hunter days of use. These facilities will enhance and preserve the quality of the natural environment and will also reduce the adverse or detrimental effects on the aesthetic qualities of the landscape. . The construction of the recreation and fish and wildlife facili- ties is presently planned to run concurrently with construction of the dam. However, it may be necessary to schedule the con- struction of these facilities by phases to accommodate funding or other restrictive requirements, The recommended development for recreation at the reservoir is shown in Figure 5 - General Development of Pueblo Reservoir. Included are public use areas on the North Shore, on the South Shore at Arkansas Point, Boggs Flat, and Rock Creek, and the Rock Canyon area below the dam. Access points for fishing are recommended at three existing road locations entering the valley in the upper reaches of the impoundment. Detailed plans for each area are described in the following text. Arkansas Point Area.--All the land adjacent and west of the right dam abutment is included in this public area. A head- quarters-interpretive complex and marina area with supporting public launching, parking, picnicking, camping and scenic overlooks will be provided. Concessioner-built and operated facilities are proposed and include a restaurant-lounge com- plex, nine-hole golf course and marina support facilities such as repair shop, supplies, boat and fuel docks, and sanitary boat facilities, The Arkansas Point development, because of its topography and location to all proposed pool elevations, will be developed 10 .
