Fellows Lake could become even more of a northside recreation hub for "silent sports" like kayaking, hiking, mountain biking and bird watching, according to the vision laid out in a new Park at Fellows Lake Master Plan.

The City Utilities board got an overview of the master plan at its Thursday meeting and showed unanimous support for enhancing recreation opportunities at the lake.

CU hired Kansas City-based GLMV Architects to identify recreation opportunities that wouldn't impact water quality at the lake, which is one of CU's major sources of drinking water.

The report recommends a number of improvements.
