Public Launch Ramp: Opens May 23, 2026
Dillon Marina Launch Ramp – Summer Operations Update
Due to ongoing drought conditions, the Dillon Marina will serve as the only boat launch ramp on the Dillon Reservoir for the 2026 season.
Visitors should plan for increased traffic and longer wait times, especially during peak hours, weekends, and holidays.
To help keep lines moving and ensure a smooth experience for everyone, please come prepared:
- Clean, drain, and dry your boat before arrival
- Have all required inspection paperwork from any other water bodies you’ve visited
- Ensure your vessel is fully ready for launch prior to entering the ramp area
Your cooperation helps protect the reservoir and keeps operations running efficiently for all users.
Launch Ramp:
The Dillon Marina launch ramp is open to the public, free of charge, throughout the summer season. Due to the threat of Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) such as Zebra and Quagga mussels, Eurasian Watermilfoil, New Zealand Mud snails, Brazilian Egeria, and more, please be prepared to have your vessel inspected before launch.
Please have your seal and receipt from the last lake you visited, ready to go. If you did not receive a seal and receipt from the previous lake, be prepared for a full inspection.
Save yourself valuable time on the water by ensuring your boat is always CLEANED, DRAINED & DRY upon arrival.
If our ANS inspectors find any threat, boaters will receive a decontamination before being allowed to enter the reservoir.
