Barker Reservoir is a water supply reservoir in the Colorado Front Range located near the town of Nederland, Colorado in southwestern Boulder County. Barker Dam provides water to a downstream hydroelectric power generating facility, and its reservoir provides water to the city of Boulder, Colorado. In 1908, the Central Colorado Power Company began construction of Barker Dam to provide electricity to nearby mining communities and the city of Denver. Completed in 1910, the dam and Barker Reservoir were named for the owner of the land, Mrs. Hannah Connell Barker. Mrs. Barker refused to sell the land to the utility but was eventually forced to do so through a process similar to the contemporary legal procedure of eminent domain. The dam was constructed by hauling concrete and other materials a

- Het Barker Reservoir is een stuwmeer in Boulder Canyon ten oosten van het bergstadje Nederland in de Amerikaanse staat Colorado. Ter onderscheiding van gelijknamige reservoirs elders in het land wordt het ook wel het Barker Meadow Reservoir genoemd, naar de weiden van onderwijzeres Hannah Connell Barker, weduwe van de makelaar en mijnexploitant Ezra Barker uit Boulder en eigenaar van een ranch in de vallei. Zij verkocht de grond eerst na een onteigeningsprocedure in 1907 voor 23.800 dollar. In de oorspronkelijke plannen was ten zuidwesten van het dorp een tweede kunstmatig meer voorzien, het Nederland Reservoir. (nl)

- Barker Reservoir is a water supply reservoir in the Colorado Front Range located near the town of Nederland, Colorado in southwestern Boulder County. Barker Dam provides water to a downstream hydroelectric power generating facility, and its reservoir provides water to the city of Boulder, Colorado. In 1908, the Central Colorado Power Company began construction of Barker Dam to provide electricity to nearby mining communities and the city of Denver. Completed in 1910, the dam and Barker Reservoir were named for the owner of the land, Mrs. Hannah Connell Barker. Mrs. Barker refused to sell the land to the utility but was eventually forced to do so through a process similar to the contemporary legal procedure of eminent domain. The dam was constructed by hauling concrete and other materials along a specially constructed spur of the Switzerland Trail narrow-gauge railroad, which went bankrupt and was broken up in 1919. In 2001 the city of Boulder purchased the reservoir, dam, and associated facilities. The city operates the reservoir primarily for municipal water supply and secondarily to generate hydroelectric power. An aqueduct with an inlet just below the dam supplies water to Kossler Reservoir. There is then a 1828 foot drop to a hydroelectric plant near the base of Boulder Canyon, several miles downstream. (en)

Langs de noordelijke oever loopt Colorado State Highway 119 die Nederland en Boulder verbindt. De streek, een hooggelegen berggebied ten zuiden van het Rocky Mountain National Park, wordt gekenmerkt door steile, beboste heuvels. (nl)
