Harvey Gap is at the Silt exit on I-70. Head north into Silt and left at the stoplight, mainstreet. Turn right at Seventh street. Follow the signs along county road 237 to Harvey Gap. The biggest motorboat allowed here is 25 horsepower or less. This lake is popular for fishing. Along with the usual fair of trout Harvey Gap also boasts Crawfish and Pike. It has a swimming area and is best noted for windsurfing. The lower elevation makes for warm summer temperatures. This is about 2/3 the size of Rifle gap and is 20 minutes from Glenwood Springs. There are some firepits and Restrooms. A $5 day fee or Parks Pass.
