Frisco Bay Marina

The Marina, Dillon Reservoir, and Denver Water

The Frisco Bay Marina is the ideal gateway onto Dillon Reservoir. The Reservoir spans 3,300 acres and boasts over 26 miles of shoreline surrounded by majestic peaks. At 9,017 feet in elevation, the boating season is weather dependent, but typically runs from early June to mid September. Frisco Bay Marina, a full service marina, sits on the eastern end of Frisco’s charming Main Street and brings lake life to Frisco with power boat rentals, paddle sport rentals, a sandy beach, mooring and slip rentals, and waterside dining. Dillon Reservoir is also a world class destination for sailing, and regattas are regularly held on the reservoir.

The Town of Frisco owns 3.26 acres of land at the Marina and leases seven acres of land from Denver Water for the operation of the Frisco Bay Marina. Completed in 1963, Dillon Reservoir is Denver Water’s largest reservoir and has an earth-fill dam, which is 5,888 feet long by 231 feet above the Blue River streambed. Denver Water provides water to 1.5 million people in the city of Denver and many surrounding suburbs.

In 2005, the Town of Frisco took over management of Frisco Bay Marina, and in 2019, the Town of Frisco began significant improvements at the marina, which deepened the bay, enlarged the beach, and improved connectivity in accordance with the Marina Master Plan adopted in June 2018.
