Colorado Parks and Wildlife is ending its management of the John Martin Reservoir State Wildlife Area on Aug. 31 after 55 years after being unable to reach a new agreement with the property’s owner, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
CPW will continue to manage John Martin Reservoir State Park, which is operated under a separate agreement with the Corps.
The 19,471-acre wildlife area surrounds the reservoir west of the state park and is a destination for hunting, fishing, boating, camping and wildlife viewing.
Beginning Sept. 1, any questions about the wildlife area should be directed to the Army Corps.
