Antero Reservoir will open to boating today after being closed for two months to contain the threat of zebra mussels.
Officials will inspect boats on the north ramp only, seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Workers will decontaminate vessels carrying the mussels, which can clog water-related equipment and cause damage to fisheries by eating beneficial plankton, according to a news release from the Colorado Division of Wildlife.
Antero Reservoir has been closed to boating since May 1 after officials found zebra mussels in Pueblo Reservoir.
