Bonny Lake State Park is a state park located in Yuma County, Colorado near Idalia. Created in 1966, Bonny Lake is the easternmost state park in Colorado. == History == In 2007 the Bonny Reservoir lake was to have of water drained to meet obligations of a water compact made between Colorado and Kansas,〔 〕 however not all of the of water was drained. The drainage was stopped because none of the water was reaching the way station in Benkelmen, Nebraska, and only was lost. *On August 24, 2007, the owners and the Colorado Department of Natural Resources considered shutting down the lake due to water loss and lack of funds. The lake was at a low measure sitting at only to at the shallowest. Guests could not launch boats from the boat ramps, but boats could be launched by hand. This meant only small water craft like canoes and jetskies could be launched, while fishing and hunting were still good around the lake. Walleye, wiper, catfish, and white bass bite very well off the dam, and ducks love the lake as a resting point as they continue their migration. Over the summer of 2008 the lake gained enough water through rainfall to raise the lake a total of , but the dam engineer decided to let out the water so it would not evaporate. This went against the decision that was made at the water meetings that happened that previous winter to not let out any more water, and either let the lake dry up or fill up as nature let it. The lake has the potential to have huge winter fish kills due to the shallowier lake conditions. If the was still in the lake the fish would easily have enough water to avoid fish kills. In September and October 2011, Bonny Lake was drained and many of the park's services were eliminated, including the fishery and the visitors' center. The park is now being operated as part of the South Republican River State Wildlife Area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Colorado’s Bonny Lake State Park Loses its Lake )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bonny Lake State Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
