Fish Kill at St Vrain State Park | Denver News

Thirty thousand fish died in Sandpiper Pond at St. Vrain State Park over the weekend — a shocking loss blamed on low oxygen levels exacerbated by drought and heat. Shallow ponds like this are especially vulnerable, and officials say it’s not the first time. To protect what’s left, they’re skipping stocking the north-side ponds this fall and focusing instead on deeper, healthier waters like Coot, Pintail, and Blue Heron Reservoirs — a smart move after last summer’s similar disaster at Boyd Lake.
