About this place
Fooses reservoir is a small lake located just off of Highway 50, on the banks of Fooses Creek. The lake was created around 1905 to generate hydro-electric power for a Public Service company power plant located downstream. The lake is a popular fishing site for anglers and is periodically stocked with catchable Rainbow trout that can measure between 8 and 12 inches in length. From Poncha Springs, Colorado, travel west on Highway 50 for approximately 8 miles to Forest Road 225. Watch for a sign on the left indicated National Forest access to Fooses Creek. Stay on FR 225 for .75 miles to the reservoir.
