Pictures of Breckenridge Blue River and Lake Dillon Colorado

Winter Pictures of Breckenridge Blue River and Lake Dillon Colorado: The photo located above of Lake Dillon (aka Dillon Reservoir) was taken in the afternoon (4:30pm) on December 19, 2014. We started the day in Breckenridge on a commercial architectural photo shoot. Once we were done we briefly stopped to photograph the beauty of the Blue River and its Winter Wonderland. The Black and White pictures of the Blue River were taken from a bridge near Maggie Pond and the Quicksilver Super 6 ski run. As were were leaving Breckenridge (heading back to Denver) we pulled over at the rest stop just off I-70 and captured these panoramic vistas of Lake Dillon with snow capped Tenderfoot Mountain and Swan Mountain in the background.

About The Location

The Blue River is a tributary of the Colorado River. It feeds Maggie Pond and runs through the Town of Breckenridge. It flows north past Blue River and Breckenridge, then through the Dillon Reservoir near Dillon. North of Dillon it flows NNW along the eastern slope of the Gore Range and joins the Colorado at Kremmling. The Dillon Reservoir, sometimes referred to as Lake Dillon, is a large fresh water reservoir located in Summit County, Colorado, south of I-70 and bordered by the towns of Frisco, Silverthorne, and Dillon. It is a reservoir for the city of Denver, and its waters are under the control of Denver Water. Popular ski areas are close to the reservoir, including Copper Mountain, Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, and Breckenridge.
