Metro district to charge fee for Lonetree use

LOVELAND — The metropolitan district that now controls recreational rights to Lonetree Reservoir will transform the reservoir into a fee-based facility.

Lonetree for decades was managed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife and was open to the public free of charge. The lease transferred to Berthoud-Heritage Metropolitan District on Jan. 1, according to the Reporter-Herald. The metro district told the newspaper that it plans to provide public access to the reservoir, a popular fishing area, but will charge a fee.

The metro district also includes the new TPC Colorado golf course.
