Goose Pasture Tarn, a
771-acre-foot reservoir in Summit County, Colorado. It is the

was conducted by the US Geological
Survey. Since 1965 the surface area and the reservoir capacity have lessened.
In 2005 he surface area of Goose Pasture Tarn was 66.4 acres, and the
reservoir capacity was 771.1 acre-feet at a full-pool elevation of 9,886.4
feet.
