Posted Jul 9, 2026 - Due to low reservoir levels, Barr's boat ramps closed 7/10 at 9 p.m. and will remain closed through the rest of the 2026 boating season. Hand-launched vessels, like kayaks and paddleboards, will still be allowed.
A 1,950-acre reservoir ringed by cottonwoods and marsh, where 371 bird species have been recorded and bald eagles nest at the water's edge. Circle it on 21 miles of trail, or start at the nature center with a naturalist.
