best months

Reeder Creek is a fishing access point on the Colorado River in Colorado, set along County Road 33 about 5 miles east of the Granby to Kremmling stretch. The river segment between those towns is a popular destination, and part of it has been designated Gold Medal Water by the Colorado Division of Wildlife. The Bureau of Land Management's Kremmling Field Office manages the surrounding land. Facilities include a parking area, and the hike down to the river is about 3/4 of a mile. The river access itself is roughly half a mile long. Plan to bring sunscreen and water for the trip to the water. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July highs reach about 79°F with lows near 44°F, according to averages from the Williams Fork Dam weather station about 4 miles away. Winters are cold and snowy, with January highs averaging around 26°F. Barger Gulch Fishing Access and Powers Fishing Access both sit about 2.6 miles away. Red Mountain RV Park offers camping at about 4.9 miles, and the Colorado River Headwaters Scenic Byway is about 5.2 miles off.
