Once you leave the few widely separated shoreline communities there are no facilities at all. It's pretty much a wilderness area and that's part of the attraction. Be sure to bring your camera and lots of film. This lake is surrounded by mountains and high red-rock cliffs. It features dozens of interesting and inviting bays and coves that offer quiet seclusion.
Wildlife viewing, especially for a great variety of birds, is marvelous.
And the fishing is fine too, so don't forget your rod and reel. In south central Colorado, just west of the Continental Divide on US-50 is Blue Mesa reservoir, a little west of Gunnison in the high desert hills. This enormous lake is well worth the trip for fishing or just plain boating and sightseeing. A marina along the north shore provides supplies, fuel and some repair services for boats and motors. For kayakers, like me, that's not a worry.
