Bureau of Reclamation - Recreation

Recreation Opportunities

Choose from the many recreation sites Reclamation has to offer.

Reclamation-managed lands and waters provide a wide range of outdoor recreation opportunities while supporting water delivery, hydropower, flood control, and environmental stewardship across the West.

Reclamation projects include reservoirs, rivers, and surrounding public lands that support activities such as boating, fishing, camping, hiking, wildlife viewing, and picnicking. Many recreation areas are managed in partnership with state and local agencies, the National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service, and other organizations.

Recreation is an important benefit of Reclamation’s water and power projects. These places connect visitors with the outdoors while helping protect natural, cultural, and water resources for future generations.
