Starting your season at the Boulder Reservoir
Stop by the Boat Inspector to have your 2023 permit applied to your watercraft!
- All watercraft, including but not limited to powerboats, sailboats, and small watercraft, require an annual permit.
- Once you have your permit, be sure to read through all of our rules, regulations and policies, which are link at the bottom of this page.
- Access is not included with your permit or storage. You need to purchase some type of membership pass, punch passes, or pay the daily entry fee from April 1 - October 31. New this year: the Res Only pass!
Small Craft Permits
Permit sales have concluded for the 2023 season.
Any and all small craft used at the Boulder Reservoir must have an annual permit. Small craft permits (non-motorized craft used outside the swim area: canoes, kayaks, SUP - inflatable or standard, kite boards, etc.) are available for purchase online.
Demand for small watercraft permits is extremely high.
Permit stickers will be applied directly to your watercraft by the boat inspector when you first bring your watercraft to the Reservoir for use. Permit stickers will be at the Reservoir, April 1st, under the name used to purchase permits. Please bring your watercraft with you as we will not give out permit sticker(s).
