Cherry Creek Reservoir is home to the Rocky Mountain Rowing Club.

The Club has designated two courses to help ensure safety for our members and guests when they are on the water. The map below shows the two courses with
their established traffic patterns.

Be sure to purchase a Cherry Creek Park Pass! The park rangers
will ticket people without them! You can get a day pass for
$7 at the self serve box at the park entrance. You can also
buy an annual pass ($60) at the booth when it is attended.
The booth at the east entrance of the park is almost always
attended during the day, or you can purchase an annual pass
at King Soopers, Safeway, REI or online.

RMRC Full Course - Clockwise:

From the dock, turn toward the marina and row west, following the shoreline but staying on the lake side of the #5 buoy. Turn at the #6 buoy (by the marina) and row across the face of the dam, staying on the lake side of the "ski north" buoys. (The ski area is between the dam and the buoys.) Turn east at the tower and follow the north shoreline until you pass the jet ski ramp, staying on the shore side of the #2 and #3 buoys. Past the jet ski ramp, turn again and follow the buoy line south, rowing on either side of the buoys. Turn west before the last buoy, to stay out of the beginners cove. If you choose to row back to the dock from the marina, row close to shore (on the shore side of the #5 buoy) to avoid shells on the full course.

Beginners Course - Counter-Clockwise:

Stay in the cove to the east of the RMRC dock. From the dock, turn away from the marina/dam and row east on the shore side of the small buoys. Turn around at the point before the stump field and row back on the lake side of the small buoys, staying close to the buoys. Do not wander into the middle of the lake where you may cross the the full course. When you reach the dock, turn around.
