Marina Park — Attraction in Dillon

Arrived here early morning around 7am while exploring around the reservoir, and on arrival I was astonished at really how well maintained and clean the park is. The display rocks were all in their proper place and not scattered across the walkways, and the paths were clean of debris.

Lots of people out fishing through the ice, a few skiers tracks coming back to shore, and lots of kids sledding down the hill between the parking and the frozen lake edge near the parking. No bathrooms that I saw, but...
