Fishing at Hiwan Number 6 Reservoir, Jefferson County, Colorado

• Overview

  The Jefferson County entry here is Hiwan Number 6 Reservoir, in Colorado. This is rolling hill ground. The water measures roughly 3 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else.

The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Hiwan Number 1 Reservoir at 0.2 miles is the sensible second choice. Confirm access to this water locally before you travel.
