General LocationThe Sawmill Reservoir is in town and used by the Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center but it is also a public space with hiking trails. There is limited parking at the site so please try to carpool, or you can also park at the bottom of the Snowflake lift and take a beautiful hike up the stream to get to the reservoir. Please do not park up by the lodge and reservoir as this is BOEC parking. There are no public restrooms.
