... a life better than the one we have as residents in Spring Valley? Like most of us, we moved here and call it home because the air is so clean, the streets are so quiet, the lake is so very blue, the trees are so spectacular, and of course, the Peak views are breathtaking. We always think of it as "The Peak," like there was no other. Don't you?
Grab your neighbor and come join us Saturday, June 10 from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm at the Pavilion to help clean up and keep our community common areas looking beautiful! Come prepared to work in clothes you don't mind getting dirty, work boots amd if you're able to bring rakes and shovels. We look forward to seeing you there!

It was suggested at a Board Meeting last year to get a group of community members together to mitigate for fire in our area. There is already an organization in place called the NoFloCo group. If we get 8 people to volunteer for the “Posse” in our area that would be part of this larger team we would be able to get a large group to work in our area to mitigate for fire danger. Please see some general information about what this group does below. If you are interested in participating or have any questions, please contact us through the website at info@myspringvalley.org.
The NoFloCo Mission Statement is to assist property owners within the Wildland Urban Interface footprint with fire mitigation, fire awareness, forest health; to make the community safer from fire danger, improve property appearance, and have fun. NoFloCo Overview:We reside in one of the most extreme fire danger areas in the state of Colorado. We reside within the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) and therefore we, as residents, must take responsibility for the mitigation of our private property well in advance of a wildland fire. We, as residents, need to assist each other in this endeavor, no effort is too small. We must Educate, Motivate, and Elevate.
Watercraft Registration:
All watercraft need to be registered at no cost to the owner in order to use on the lake. The watercraft must be removed from the area at the end of each day if you have not applied and paid for a docking slot (see application form below). Watercraft left overnight will be considered abandoned, which could result in the watercraft, and any oars etc. being confiscated or the owner could receive compounding fees, and the watercraft not being released until the fees are paid. Contact Ken Richardson at 303-532-6069 to register a watercraft. 2023 Watercraft Docking Application Form
