The Bureau of Reclamation and Larimer County Parks and Open Lands will host two public open houses to collect public comment on recreation at Horsetooth, Carter, Pinewood, and Flatiron reservoirs. Comments will be accepted for the County's Recreation Master Plan and for Reclamation's Resource Management Plan.

Horsetooth, Carter, Pinewood, and Flatiron reservoirs are part of the Colorado-Big Thompson water project owned by the Bureau of Reclamation. Larimer County Parks and Open Lands manages recreation for Reclamation at all four reservoirs.

The Recreation Master Plan and Resource Management Plan work hand-in-hand to coordinate and outline recreational development and improvements at the four reservoirs. Larimer County Parks prepares the Master Plan, while Reclamation is responsible for the Resource Management Plan, which includes compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act.
