If you haven't visited Cherry Creek Reservoir in a while, you're in for a nice surprise! The water has dramatically improved and the area is experiencing a revival for open water swimmers seeking clean, safe water. In the last several years, Cherry Creek State Park has added a water circulation system to their reservoir which is known as a "SolarBee." SolarBees are the most effective, sustainable, and environmentally-friendly approach to reducing the negative ecological consequences of excess plant growth and decay in ponds, lakes, and reservoirs. They provide beneficial water circulation which has proven consistently effective at disrupting blue-green algae habitat so that blooms do not form. In short, the purpose of this circulation system is to increase the clarity of the water and reduce the amount of blue-green algae in the water. Cherry Creek Reservoir is a great place for the open water swim leg of the Tri for the Cure.
