LOMA, Colo. (KREX) — To eradicate mussels, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) started using an EPA-registered copper-based chemical to treat the lake water at Highline Lake State Park.

Officials started to drain the lake in January 2024.

CPW will continue to drain the lake and expects to refill it in 2025.

In the meantime, no fishing or boating is allowed at the lake until further notice.
