Troutin’ About: Eleven Mile Canyon
Do you ever feel trapped by the city life? Maybe you're stuck in the same daily routine you've done a thousand times that has left you looking for more, something to break up the monotony. Well, look no further than Eleven Mile Canyon Recreation Area.
The hidden paradise that outdoor enthusiasts flock to year-round, cuts you off from the hustle and bustle of the outside world and throws you into a mindset of peace and positivity. From rock climbers scaling the nearly vertical cliff walls to fishing enthusiasts trying to match the hatch, or the lazy campers reading a good book by the river, Eleven Mile has it all.
Recently the water flow of the South Platte River through Eleven Mile has been increased to over 200 cfs (cubic feet per second) which is significantly higher than the 75 cfs reported at the beginning of June. So if you're fishing, keep in mind the water is running very high and fast.
