FRISCO, COLORADO — Paddlers and oarsmen will join together for fun and competition,  dipping their oars into the still waters of Dillon Reservoir as they participate in The Lake Dillon Challenge, North America’s highest regatta.

“We expect 70-80 participants from all over Colorado, neighboring states, and around the country,” said Frisco Rowing Center president Joanne Stolen.

All photos were taken by Kay Beaton at the 2010 Dillon regatta.
