Beutiful God made nature and friendly and professional officers patrolling the area so you feel safe as well. I had a celebration of life for my youngest sister and though the weather didn't exactly corporate the officers were kind and understood our sadness and took that into consideration

A great place for family and friends gatherings. Swimming is allowed at a designated place. Be ready to pay $ 10 at the entrance though.

Good spot for paddle boarding. Shady areas near the parking lot. Swim beach has some shaded pavilion type seating areas. Aggressive geese.

We had a wonderful day at Aurora Reservoir! The water was clean, the views were beautiful, and the whole place felt peaceful and relaxing. Great spot for families and friends — we’ll definitely be back!

This place was great. The park rangers were on top of keeping people safe, there was plenty of room and the atmosphere was nice. They also give veterans deals on the park pass and annual pass which I appreciate at a veteran. We are excited to come back to this place over and over again. One thing to note is NO SWIMMING till after Labor Day. Rangers make sure you DO NOT go past your knees in the water.
