Zebra Mussels News
All boats launched and retrieved at the Dillon Marina will require an Invasive Species Inspection. Inspection station hours will vary during the year depending on weather and time of season. We recommend that you check ahead with the marina’s staff for hours of operation before you launch or retrieve your vessel
Zebra mussel protection at Dillon Marina
Effective immediately, there are new procedures for recreation on Dillon Reservoir to prevent the introduction of destructive aquatic invasive species identified as zebra mussels into Dillon Reservoir , the primary drinking water supply for over several million residents.
Zebra mussels and other similar species are a direct and immediate threat to Dillon Reservoir. The aggressive mussels quickly spread and can cause costly damage to boats and water supply systems. These invasive species also adversely impact the natural ecosystem of the lake, harming natural fisheries and degrading water quality.
The recent discovery of zebra mussels in Pueblo Reservoir has heightened concerns throughout the state. State and federal officials, as well as many municipalities, are moving quickly to prevent the spread of these destructive mussels. Many are considering similar inspection and cleaning procedures at Front Range lakes and reservoirs during the upcoming boating season.
The new inspection and cleaning procedures at Dillon Reservoir apply to all boats, excluding untrailered boats such as kayaks and canoes. An inspection and tagging program has been created to streamline boat launching and to minimize the inconvenience to boaters. Boats may be inspected and cleaned, followed by a quarantine or drying period. Experience in other states has shown that inspecting and cleaning boats greatly reduces the chances of contamination, but only a drying period will kill mussels.
The lauch ramp at the Dillon Marina will be open 8:30Am to 5:30 Pm daily weather permiting. The only boat launching areas will be at the Dillon and Frisco marinas.
These efforts are necessary to protect Dillon Reservoir from becoming contaminated by this aggressive invasive species and also preserving recreational use at Dillon Reservoir.
Thanks for your help in protecting this valuable water resource!!!
