About Heaton Bay

Overview

Heaton Bay Campground is situated at an elevation of 9,000 feet and centrally located for recreation and relaxation in the White River National Forest.

There is little or no shade in the campground due to pine beetle infestation and the removal of hazard trees, but the sites offer open views to Dillon Reservoir and

several mountain ranges.Recreation

Dillon Reservoir is 3,233 acres with 26.8 miles of shoreline, offering an ideal spot for fishing, boating, and sailing. The reservoir supports a healthy population of

rainbow and brown trout, in addition to a few cutthroat finding their way into the lake from feeder streams.

Opportunities for hiking and biking in this area include more than 7 paved miles of the 50-mile Summit County trail system.

The Old Dillon Reservoir Trail is a favorite. This short, easy trail has spectacular views of the Tenmile Range and the Continental Divide.
