Aurora Reservoir is a 31,650 acre-foot (39,000,000 m³) reservoir located in the southeastern reach of Aurora, Colorado. Senac Creek and other minor streams flow into the reservoir's three coves, Senac, Marina and Lone Tree, each pointing to the south. Filled in 1990, the reservoir provides drinking water for the City of Aurora, which it also uses as a recreational facility. Miles of undeveloped prairie originally separated the reservoir from the city's neighborhoods, and its location has been referred to as "Aurora's Outback". However, over 3,500 homes in two developments, called Beacon Point and Southshore, are planned immediately southwest of the reservoir.
