At Blue Eesa, the water level will relllain con- <br /> <br /> <br />stant. This important factor, together With the location adjacent to <br /> <br />a main cross country highway and relatively near the Black Canyon of <br /> <br />the Gunnison National konument indicates that it should provide an <br /> <br />outlet for considerable recreational activity in this region. It is <br /> <br />believed ttat day, overnight and week end use can be expected. De- <br /> <br />lnand for boating facilities, summer home sites and possible demand for <br />group camping sites can be anticipated. On the basis of this study' <br /> <br />and investigation, it is felt that the development of facilities to <br /> <br />meet these demands is justifiable. <br /> <br />b. At Gateview and Cebolla, some changes in water <br /> <br />levels can be expected during the recreation season, and variations.in <br /> <br />levels from year to year can be expected also. from information at <br /> <br />hand it is believed that these two areas should provide an outl~t for <br /> <br />minor recreation activity. Although it is believed there will be a <br /> <br />demand for such facilities as outlined for Blue Mesa, it appears that <br /> <br />the annual visitor use ~hich these two sites can be expected to receive <br /> <br />will be less than at Blue .iesa. It is felt, Lerefore, that any <br /> <br />initial development should be less extensive than at Blue Mesa. <br /> <br />c. Although the water level at Taylor Park <br /> <br />Reservoir can be expected to remain very nearly constant throughout <br /> <br />the recreation season, considerable variation in levels can be expected <br /> <br />from year to year. Further study discloses that, with t..le construction <br /> <br />of th" Almont Dam, the present access road to .raylor Park wDuld be <br /> <br />22 <br />
