Paddle or Kayak Aurora Reservoir!!!

Aurora Reservoir is an unknown gem just several miles east of Denver proper. The water is clean (good drainage and no motor boats unlike Chatfield and Cherry Creek), calm and there are a lot of coves to explore. If you are new to SUP (standup paddle boarding), this is a perfect venue! I can help you with your board and give you a few pointers, but really, SUP isn't all that hard :)
You can also bring a kayak too, but please be patient with those on a SUP because they are a bit slower.

WHAT TO BRING:

1. $15 to get in OR $85/$75 (Aurora Resident) for an Annual pass. Annual pass is nice b/c you can skip the line of people getting a daily pass. I might do 1-2 more events here this summer. Will hit some other spots like Chatfield, Lake Georgetown, Dillon, etc.
2. A SUP/Kayak/whatever vehicle you can use (no powered vehicles allowed).
3. Rent a SUP or kayak for $20/hr. See link-- https://www.auroragov.org/things_to_do/reservoirs/aurora_reservoir/aurora_reservoir_rentals
4. Life jacket as this is required. It just has to be on your conveyance, but if you are a poor swimmer - please wear it! I have 3 extra, so let me know if you need one....
5. Whistle as this is required at Aurora Reservoir. I have these on my life jackets if you borrow one. I have a few extras to give out too!
6. More;
   • Snacks!
   • Water as it can get hot!
   • Sunscreen
   • Towel in case you fall in the water (it happens)
   • Swimsuit or whatever you don't care about getting wet
   • A sunglass neck strap, so you don't lose those if you fall
   • Sandals, boat shoes, etc. are highly recommended as there are some rocks in the water and we will probably be beaching a couple times. When on the water, I take mine off and strap to my board.
   • Camp chair or something to sit on
