Here's a look at the diversion @CSUtilities is building on the Arkansas River near Leadville in partnership with @COParksWildlife and others. The $9 million structure includes a fish ladder on the left, a whitewater raft channel on the right and an overflow channel in the middle.

Rob White, park manager for @COParksWildlife's @AHRA_CPW speaks to a tour group led by @CSUtilities along the Arkansas River where the two agencies are partners in removing a dam and installing a new fish ladder and whitewater raft ramp.

It takes teamwork to keep these @AHRA_CPW River Rangers safe as they use chainsaws to remove downed trees known in the rafting world as "strainers" from a swift-flowing Arkansas River. Their bravery today at the Big Bend Recreation area made the water safer for all.

Troop 72971 showed #GirlScoutsLoveStateParks by picking up trash at @AHRA_CPW Railroad Bridge area. They made a fish sculpture from the trash. Troop members are Sophie, Zen Rose, Elise and Bella and their leader is Alex Morgan. #gscolo #gsoutdoors @girlscouts @COParksWildlife#

We #rescue more than #wildlife. Today @COParksWildlife river ranger Catelin Miles of the @AHRA_CPW saved some rafters in the Arkansas River in Browns Canyon. They were stuck on rocks and were grateful to Catelin for her help. (Catelin has her back to the camera.)

It's going to be a beautiful weekend and everyone in Colorado can fish for free on Saturday and Sunday!
