Waterwheel
Eagle County
The more than 40-foot tall wooden structure was originally constructed by local ranchers during the late 1930s.
Waterwheel
Located along the south side of the Colorado River, just south of McCoy, it is believed to be the largest waterwheel in the state. It was designed to lift water approximately 15 feet in height in order to reach a level where it could be used for irrigation. The wheel was reconstructed in 1976.
