The forest service acquired the majority of the 832-acre site in 2021 as a way to prevent private development.
White River National Forest officials have released a proposal that would turn the idyllic Sweetwater Lake property in Garfield County over to Colorado Parks and Management for management and improvements. The USFS is now taking public comment on the plan.
But because the forest service lacks the resources to manage it, the federal agency asked CPW to take on the job. The site would remain forest service land. Evaluate existing structures for possible retention and possibly restore retained buildings, in a style appropriate to the historic character of the site. Buildings there, some of which may be beyond repair, were built from 1920-40.Develop 15-20 new primitive or semi-primitive campsites and convert the cramped existing nine-site campground into a day-use picnic area.
