Beaches
    The Water valley designers placed sand throughout the subdivision in areas where grass would traditionally be installed in non-lake front real estate. The sand is 3-4 feet deep and was a by-product of the sand and gravel operation that at one time occupied the site. Sand curbs delineate property lines for those homes situated on beach front property. The sand gives the homeowners the opportunity to enjoy their own private beach and allows them to walk down to the water's edge from the back of their lots.

Lakes
    The lakes at Water Valley are man-made bodies of water. Like the beaches, they were made as a result of the sand and gravel mining operation which previously occupied the site. The State of Colorado has classified Water Valley's lakes as certified water storage reservoirs which will insure their integrity over the years. The lake shores have been sculpted to a gradual, aesthetically pleasing incline to allow for recreational activities in the lakes, and the sand on the beaches descends past the water line to emulate natural beach front setting.
    The depth of water in the lakes is in the 20-25 foot depth range and Water Valley operates a continuous water quality system to assure enjoyable, clean conditions. Included in the water quality control system are several oxygenation systems, similar to the air pumps used in aquariums. This maximizes living conditions for aquatic life as well as aesthetically pleasing water quality.

Trails
    Water Valley boasts over 7.5 miles of on-site recreational trails. The trails are designed for activities such as jogging, biking, roller blading, walking or simply the enjoyment of the area's natural character. Included within this trail network is the Poudre Trail, which will eventually connect the cities of Fort Collins and Greeley.

Overview
    Water Valley has continually placed a great importance on creating and maintaining a quality, environmentally-friendly, enjoyable marine environment: something which is rare in the state of Colorado. Incorporating the mature natural character of the Poudre River with professionally-engineered real estate development, Water Valley is a unique setting for discriminating homeowners who wish to purchase a home with enduring, quality-of-life prerequisites.
