Waterfront Rentals on Blue Mesa

Blue Mesa Reservoir is a water sport enthusiasts dream. The large, wide-open reservoir makes it perfect for boating, sailing, and messing around. It’s the place to enjoy water skiing, kayaking, stand-up paddle-boards, beach time, and for the hardy few, even swimming in the mid-summer months. But it's the deep water and big fish that makes Blue Mesa Reservoir well known.

​

The Elk Creek complex is the major facility of Blue Mesa Reservoir. It features the main marina, a visitors center and campground. The marina offers in and out boat launching, a store, fish tackle, gasoline, boat rentals, kayaks, canoes, SUP's and boat slips.

The marina is only open in the summer, while the NPS visitors center and campground are open year-round. Elk Creek Marina is located 16 miles west of Gunnison on Highway 50. There is a well marked turn-off.
