Navigating Blue Mesa Reservoir

Blue Mesa Reservoir, CO is a lake in Colorado, and this page collects what Navi Wake knows about navigating it. The lake is charted for routing, which means Navi Wake can plan a path across open water that stays off the land and follows the channel instead of drawing a straight line through a peninsula.

We hold 3 charted navigation aids on Blue Mesa Reservoir. That breaks down into 3 marked hazards. We also chart 14 public boat ramps and 2 marinas on the shoreline, mapped separately from the aids above. No published depth survey has been ingested for Blue Mesa Reservoir yet, so the chart cannot shade shallow water here - read the water and your sounder.
