NO swimming, wading, floating, paddleboarding, or water craft allowed on Crown Hill Lake or Kestrel Pond

NOTICE: Jeffco Open Space does not own the water rights to Crown Hill Lake. The water is managed by the Crown Hill Cemetery for water usage on their property. The pump house on the eastside of the lake draws the water out and it is used for maintaining the plots on their property  via irrigation. This causes annual fluctuations in the water level of Crown Hill Lake.
