Frisco Bay Marina is  a certified clean marina located on the shores of scenic Dillon Reservoir in the heart of Summit County, Colorado.  The lake spans 3,300 acres and boasts 25 miles of shoreline surrounded by majestic peaks.  At 9,017 feet in elevation, the boating season is very weather dependent, but typically runs from early June to early or mid September.  Dillon Reservoir is in a world class for sailing and regattas are held regularly.

Water Status: May 5th, 2012

We have open water on the whole lake.  If you would like to come down and get your boat on the water, mooring balls are open and there will be a dingy available.  The amount of water we have at the launch ramp is 3.3 feet if your boat draws more than 3 feet then you will have to launch at the Dillon Marina and come over or fill out a work order to have us launch it for you. 

Drought Conditions for 2012

As of April 1, the statewide snowpack is at 52% of average, which is the lowest value since 2002 (Western Water Assessment).  As a result of this low snowpack and the warm, dry conditions we are currently experiencing, we are preparing for “dry weather” conditions this season, meaning the reservoir levels will be steadily decreasing each month.  If such dry conditions continue, Denver Water anticipates the reservoir being down approximately 25’ by September.  Under such low water conditions, the Frisco Bay Marina cannot effectively install, operate, or manage the docks at the current Marina site.  This affects our ability to store and launch boats in our typical fashion. 

For this season, the following changes will be in effect for our slip holders only:

• Relocating five (5) docks to a location directly east of the Summit Middle School field and south of the shallow passage into the reservoir.  This site is the winter storage site for the docks and is ideal for these dry conditions because it is flat, deep and sheltered from the winds. The docks will be appropriately anchored and secured for the duration of the season at this site, and customers will be shuttled by Marina staff from the Marina to their boats at this new location from the hours of 8am to 8pm daily.  These docks will be called the “Dock Island Slips”.  Denver Water Board has been extremely helpful in working with staff this season to make this option a reality. 
• Installing only one (1) dock for rentals and concessionaires for the season.  This will be the only dock installed at the Marina.  Due to such low water levels, it is not practical to install the other docks and continuously chase the water.  TOF, concessionaires and the Sheriff’s patrol boat will share this one dock for the season. 

It is our goal to have our slip customers on the water.  As such, we have three (3) storage options available for you this season: Stay on a Dock Island Slip, go to a Mooring, or move to Dry Storage.  Those customers with a slip should have recieved an addendum to their contract.  Any differences in price from a slip to a dock island slip, mooring, or dry storage will be credited to you in accordance with the options contained in the addendum.   

We appreciate your time, your commitment, and your continued patronage of the Frisco Bay Marina.  If we can assist you in any way or answer any questions for you, please feel free to contact us, 970.668.4334.
