Two Buttes Reservoir State Wildlife Area

Two Buttes Reservoir is a small impoundment on Two Buttes Creek in southeastern Colorado's Baca County. The reservoir sits at an elevation of approximately 4,500 feet in the High Plains region. This is a headwater stream environment with modest drainage area and relatively gentle average flow conditions, making it suitable for smaller watercraft and recreational boating activities.

The surrounding landscape is characteristic of Colorado's eastern plains, with sparse development and wildlife management focus through the State Wildlife Area designation. Water conditions are generally calm since this is an impounded reservoir rather than flowing stream. Boaters should be aware that this is a relatively small water body in an isolated area, so amenities and services may be limited. The site provides access to a unique High Plains reservoir experience with opportunities for fishing and recreational paddling in a quieter, less developed setting.

Visitors should plan accordingly given the remote location in Baca County and verify current conditions and any seasonal restrictions with Colorado Parks and Wildlife before visiting. The State Wildlife Area designation indicates the site is managed for conservation purposes, so recreational use rules and access policies should be confirmed in advance.
