Bostwick Park Project Congress authorized construction of the Bostwick Park Project in September 1964. Located in west-central Colorado, the Bostwick Park Project will provide a supplemental water supply for 4,293 acres of presently inadequately irrigated land and a full water supply for 1,315 acres of new land. The project will also provide recreation and fish and wildlife benefits. Storage regulation of flows of Cimarron Creek will be provided by the Silver Jack Dam, principal feature of the project. Released storage water and usable natural flows will be diverted from Cimarron Creek into the existing Cimarron Canal and conveyed 23 miles to the vicinity of the project lands where distribution will be made through existing ditches. Two laterals will be constructed to convey water to lands above those presently irrigated.
