Letter to the Editor: Thanks for Recreation on the Lakes

Dear Sir:

For the residents of Prowers and Kiowa Counties there is a remarkable event that has occurred! Thanks to the efforts of Tri-State Generation, the Amity Canal, and the Fort Lyon Canal there is a substantial amount of water in Upper and Lower Queens Reservoirs, ten miles north of Lamar!

These two reservoirs have now risen to the point they provide boating and jet skiing opportunities! Both have also been stocked with small game fish by the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife. These little game fish should grow quickly and be catchable within a year or so.

I personally want to thank the Canal Companies and Tri-State Generation along with the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife for enhancing the recreational opportunities in Southeastern Colorado!
