Description
Morrow Point Reservoir is the central of the three reservoirs that make up Curecanti National Recreation Area, along with Blue Mesa and Crystal Reservoir. This long, narrow lake can only be accessed by a trail with 240 stairs down, and only hand-carried and powered craft are allowed. The reward, however, is a tranquil fishing and boating experience not to be missed.
