We’ve known since the legislation was passed in 1968 that there would be a lake, but weren’t able to figure out how to empty the trash cans or police the recreational park there until a year or so ago. Last fall, Nighthorse was the only lake within a day’s drive from Durango more than 50 percent full and local residents still are fenced out.

Judging from how full boat storage facilities are in the area, I think Lake Nighthorse will be quite popular. What are the chances of progress by the 50th anniversary of the enabling legislation?
