I've updated my tour of Heeney Colorado. It's a small community in the shadow of the Gore Range and on the shores of the Green Mountain Reservoir. Located at the far northern end of Summit County, Colorado. A wonderful spot for outdoor activities and to get away from the crowds.
Here's a list of some of the local highlights
Hiking Eagles Nest Wilderness area.
Camping, over 10 primitive campgrounds around the reservoir.
Fishing in the Blue River, the reservoir or at Cataract Lake a natural glacial lake.
Wind surf on Green Mountain Reservoir.
Water-ski Green Mountain Reservoir.
Jet-ski Green Mountain Reservoir.
Hang glide from the Blue Ridge above Green Mountain Reservoir.
Heeney is a small community of about 120 full time residents. In the summer the population swells, many of the homes are occupied during the summer. The businesses are orientated to the summer resort.
Heeney Marina is open in the summer. Their web site is www.heeneymarina.com.
The Green Mountain Reservoir is used for water storage. When full the elevation is 7950, here is a link to a state web site with information on current levels.
Green Mountain Inn restaurant and bar is currently closed.
You can get ice, some supplies and liquor at, Master Bait and Tackle.
Melody Lodge is a small convenience store and cabins located where the Blue River runs into the Green Mountain Reservoir.
