History of the Taylor Park Marina....
The Taylor Park Reservoir is a 2000 surface acre body of water created by the 1937 Taylor Park Dam, which dams the Taylor River of Colorado, United States. The dam and reservoir, located about 35 miles (56 km) northeast of Gunnison, are part of the Uncompahgre Project in Colorado. Recreation management at the reservoir is under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Forest Service and offers camping and fishing. The summit of Cottonwood Pass lies a few miles east of the reservoir and can be accessed via Gunnison County Road 209 during the summer months.
The Taylor Park Marina
The Taylor Park Marina sits at an elevation of 9,300 feet on the southern edge of Taylor Park Reservoir. The lake is bordered by the Continental Divide. The Upper Taylor River, Willow Creek, Texas Creek and Illinois Creek feed into this lake which is home to some of the best Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, and Northern Pike fishing in the state.
Fly Fishing
If Fly Fishing is your game, the Taylor River has much to offer! It provides excellent fishing opportunities for rainbow, brown and cutthroat trout. The Taylor Dam Tailwater (aka Hog Trough) is home to some very smart trophy size trout and the state record rainbow trout. Special fishing regulations apply: cpw.state.co.us for more information.
