Timeline
19:14
Arrive early to grab a cold drink or a light snack from the on-site facilities. The beach volleyball courts and waterslide area provide a relaxed backdrop to start your evening.
20:29
Find a comfortable spot on the sand or by the water’s edge. The golden light begins to wash over the reservoir at this time, creating a warm, reflective surface perfect for unwinding.
21:14
Watch the sun set toward the NW. The sky will shift from bright gold to deep orange and purple as the light fades over the water.
21:44
Stay for the twilight glow. The air cools down quickly after sunset, so enjoy the final moments of daylight before heading back.
Local tip
The reservoir can get windy in the evening. Bring a light layer for after the sun goes down.
