In 2010, famous Denver Post columnist and book author Charlie Meyers passed away, and the Dream Stream from Highway 59 up to the last free parking area below Spinney Dam was renamed Charlie Meyers State Wildlife Area.

The Dream Stream flows from Spinney Dam roughly 3½ miles through scenic high-country meadow before it dumps into Elevenmile Reservoir.
