As Colorado starts to reopen the economy there are many questions about what is open and what isn’t open.\u00a0 Some counties have temporarily shut down to any external tourism, while others are viable options for recreation.\u00a0 The Colorado “safer at home” order suggests not traveling further than 10 miles from your house for recreation, but I have talked to several people who have called the CPW and asked if this holds true for turkey hunting and boating\/fishing on lakes further than 10 miles from their house and the CPW told them that they were allowed to travel further than 10 miles for these activities although their web site isn’t necessarily clear about this!\u00a0 We aren’t suggesting you make a move one way or another, just reporting what we are hearing.\u00a0 To the best of our knowledge, here’s the scoop on a lot of Colorado’s lakes and reservoirs:<\/p>\n
