With 26 miles of shoreline surrounded by a breathtaking mountainous backdrop, the reservoir is perfect for boating, sailing, walking and picnicking. There are several boat-launch ramps and two marinas where you can rent rigs, and the Dillon Marina even offers a sailing school and charter cruises.
The Dillon Farmers Market runs every Friday in the summer where vendors offer Colorado produce, cheeses, treats and more. Pick up Palisade peaches from Forte Fruits, sample Bjorn's Colorado Honey and stock up on handmade bath products from Conifer-based Taspen’s Organics. Other Colorado-based vendors include Miller Farm and Eat a Peach Farm from Palisade.
