Description
Horsetooth Reservoir is a large lake in southern Larimer County, Colorado just west of the city of Fort Collins. It sits in the foothills above the town on the western side of the Dakota Hogback, which contains the water along its eastern side. The reservoir runs north-south for approximately 6.5 miles, and is approximately one-half mile wide.
Constructed in 1949 by the Bureau of Reclamation as part of its federal Colorado-Big Thompson Project, water distribution is currently managed by the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District and Bureau of Reclamation. Horsetooth and Carter Lake serve as the two principal containers for water diverted eastward under the continental divide via the Colorado-Big Thompson.
Horsetooth is a supplementary source of municipal water for Fort Collins and other communities in the region, as well as for irrigation in the South Platte River valley. The reservoir takes its name from Horsetooth Mountain, a summit in the foothills west of the southern end of the reservoir.
