Arvada Blunn Reservoir

Aliases: Blunn Reservoir, Tucker Lake

This large reservoir, while not as productive as other Denver area lakes, can often have good numbers of waterfowl and the odd loon in the fall and spring. Barrow’s Goldeneye sometimes show up in November, and a variety of gulls are possible in the colder months. There are also some decent riparian thickets and groves along the walking trail on the western edge of the reservoir that should be checked during migration.
