Three reservoirs, named for corresponding dams on the Gunnison River, form the heart of Curecanti National Recreation Area. Panoramic mesas, fjord-like reservoirs, and deep, steep and narrow canyons abound. Adventurers discover an array of activities here: hiking, horseback riding, hunting, snowmobiling, whitewater rafting, windsurfing and lots more.
