The Larimer County Department of Natural Resources, in order to comply with State of Colorado Aquatic Nuisance Species Regulations, is required to inspect every vessel entering Carter Lake and Horsetooth Reservoir.  No boat launching is permitted outside of these hours; however, boats already on the reservoirs may continue operation.  ANS inspections will be done at open boat ramps.
