The Blue River flows north from Breckenridge through Summit County to its confluence with the Colorado near Kremmling. Designated Gold Medal trout water by Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the Blue below Dillon Reservoir is one of the state"s premier tailwater fisheries, producing trophy brown and rainbow trout. The cold, consistent dam releases create year-round paddling and fishing opportunities.
