All Access to RTP Through North Slope Recreation Area To Be Closed for 2-1/2 years
Beginning October 15, 2023 to Spring 2026, all access to the Ring the Peak Trail is scheduled to be closed due to a major dam rehabilitation project.
This from the project website:
“South Catamount Reservoir will undergo rehabilitation of its dam in 2024-2025, which will impact some recreation activities in the area. South Catamount is one of three reservoirs owned and operated by Colorado Springs Utilities in the North Slope Recreation Area (NSRA) of Pikes Peak. The dam structure, constructed in 1936, requires a major rehabilitation project to enhance its safety and performance. Project work includes resurfacing of its steel face and replacement of dam infrastructure. We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we complete necessary maintenance and upgrades to a critical reservoir that stores drinking water for our community. The work will preserve and extend the life of the dam for decades to come.”
