Vallecito Marina

The only marina on the lake: rent a boat, keep one here, fuel up, or grab tackle and a cold drink before you launch.

One marina, the whole lake

Vallecito is a big, high mountain reservoir, and there's just one marina on it. That makes the marina the natural jumping-off point for a day on the water — pontoons, a fishing boat, and paddle craft all rent from the same dock. The marina is community-operated under the Vallecito Conservation and Sporting Association, with moorage run by agreement with the Bureau of Reclamation and the Pine River Irrigation District.
