Rueter-Hess Reservoir
The City of Castle Pines is part of the Rueter-Hess Recreation Authority, a group working to bring more recreational opportunities to the reservoir area. The City of Castle Pines has partnered with Parker, Castle Rock, Lone Tree, Douglas County and the Parker Water and Sanitation District to create opportunities for non-motorized boating, fishing, hiking and camping.
Other Area Parks
