Since this reservoir is located in an area where few ol'por- <br /> <br />tunities for outdoor recreation exist, and. the water level .'!ill be suf- <br /> <br />ficiently stable to be conducive to water recredtion activities, it is <br /> <br />felt that the area should provide an outlet for considerable day use. <br /> <br />It is believed that facilities for boating an'; bathing .'ill be in de- <br /> <br />mand. The area does not arpear suited to the establislunent of sU;J![Ier <br /> <br />homes or group camps. <br /> <br />.5.

This area <br /> <br />is loc9.ted adjacent to a main highv:ay and relatively clase to the city <br /> <br />of Fueblo. It is in a region IIhere few apportur:ities for outdoor re- <br /> <br />creation exist. It is felt th~t this area ~ill provide an outlet fDr a <br /> <br />moderate amount of recreation activity. 'l'he USGS anticij-Jated far Ben <br /> <br />Butler can also be expected at this reservoir anG the development of <br /> <br />facilities t,o meet these needs appears to be justified at t:,is time. <br /> <br />6. At Cedarwood and rueblo, considerable fluctuation <br /> <br />of the water level can be expected during the sW.,.!er months and vari- <br /> <br />ations in th8 water level can also be expected. frot\ year t.o year. <br /> <br />In view of these findings it does not appear that recreational develop- <br /> <br />ments at these r8servoirs can be justified at this time. <br /> <br />36 <br />
