Antero Reservoir was created by the first dam placed on the South Platte River in Park County, central Colorado. It is owned by Denver Water and supplies drinking water to the greater Denver metro region almost 140 miles away. Built in 1909, the earthen dam sat on a site believed by geologists to be a dry lake bed some 300 years old. This lake, named Green Lake, lies submerged in Antero Reservoir. The Reservoir was closed in 2002 for 5 years, due to massive drought in Colorado. The lake went completely dry, and the Colorado Division of Wildlife, in concert with Denver Water resurrected it in 2007. The Colorado Division of Wildlife re-stocked the lake with rainbow trout, brook trout, cutbow, cutthroat trout, brown trout, and splake. The shallowness of this reservoir makes it relatively warm for the location and altitude. This makes for exceptionally large, fast growing fish.Antero Reservoir is owned by Denver Water and overseen by Colorado Division of Wildlife, since it is not a state park, there are no fees for fishing. Fishing is year 'round, with wonderful ice fishing in the winter. Lake Ice USA is taking reservations for this giant Rainbow trout fishery for the next ice fishing season.
