Please also note that the Aurora Reservoir reaches capacity crowds on holidays and weekends. We will be limiting how many cars can come in. We may also have to limit access through our busiest walk-in gates as necessary to prevent overcrowding during the social distancing restrictions currently in place.  Closing these walk-in gates will only be implemented when it is necessary, otherwise they will remain open during normal hours.**
