RedactedNarrative: On 7/6/2016 at approx. 1915 hours, I, Warden, along with Warden2 received a phone call about a capsized vessel on Glendo Reservoir East of Bennett Hill boat launch. We received very little information on the accident or if injuries were involved. After loading up a boat and dropping Warden2 at the Glendo Marina, she went en route to the accident via the water, and I (Warden) went by land. 
  
  We met the involved parties near Bennett Hill boat launch where we began asking questions about the accident. The owner of the vessel told us that the storm that had just passed came in too fast they could not get off the water before their boat began to fill with water. 
  
  Operator told us that everyone was safe on shore after swimming halfway across the lake and showed us where to find the vessel, capsized, but still floating upside down approx. halfway between Bennett Hill and Indian Point boat launches. Operator asked if he could take his family back to their campsite in Two Moons campground to warm up and have a snack before we talked more about the accident as two people in the party were a little shook up. 
  
  Warden2 and I proceeded to find the vessel floating upside down and towed the vessel to Indian Point as close to shore as we could get it. The vessel was tied off to a 6x6 post near the boat launch and left until a recovery service could extract it. After loading our vessel at Bennett Hill boat launch, we met again with the boat owner and parties involved in the accident to give them a watercraft accident report and to begin our reports. At this time we took verbal reports from the involved parties at their campsite. 
  
  Multiple reports pointed towards the fact that they left the Glendo Marina at about 1700 hours, headed originally towards the canyon. When they arrived between Bennett Hill and Indian Point, a wind storm began to come up, picking up the waves on the lake rapidly. 
  
  They started taking small waves over the bow of their vessel and started taking on water. Thinking they needed to get off of the water or at least somewhere with more protection from the storm, they attempted to head towards the shore south of Bennet Hill. After turning sideways in the waves, they began to take on more water over the gunwales, until the vessel started to tip over on its port side. 
  
  They were able to grab four life jackets that were readily available but said it all happened so fast that they could not all get life jackets. The other passengers were able to take a couple seat cushions and water sport toy flotation devices. 
  
  All passengers at that time removed themselves from the vessel and began to swim towards Bennett Hill. All 8 passengers and their dog made it to shore, where two individuals walked to the closest campsite.
  
   An individual from the campsite helped them notify the authorities and get back to camp for a vehicle. They returned to Bennett Hill, and we arrived shortly afterwards. After dropping off the required paperwork with the operator and owner, we let them know how to get ahold of a recovery service, suggested they speak with their insurance, and let them know that we would meet the tow service in the morning to pull the vessel from the water and assess the damages to the vessel. 
  
  On 7/7/2016 at approx. 0900 hours, Warden2 and I met Bellwood boats tow service at the Glendo marina to escort them through the closed area to Indian Point. The recovery service was able to use their tow truck to roll the vessel slowly over in the water and then pump and bail the water out of the boat until it floated without assistance again. After loading the vessel on its trailer and pulling it from the water, Warden2 and I inspected the vessel for damage. The engine compartment was completely soaked and based upon Bellwood boats experience, he stated the motor would need a lot of work to remove the water and make it functional again. The ski tower was separated in one place and looked loose in others. Compartments were waterlogged and would need work to dry them out as well as replace anything not waterproof. The vessel was transported to Bellwood boats, and we went back to finish our reports with the family involved at Two Moons. 
  
  We finished our paperwork to the best of our ability and let owner know that we would need date of births and addresses from the other parties involved as well as proof of registration for the vessel. After requesting these things and again taking verbal reports of what exactly happened the previous day, we cleared with a plan to acquire that information as soon as they arrived home.
