Emergency services were initially called to Threipmuir at 5:35pm on Wednesday, after a man in his thirties fell from a dinghy he was sharing with a group of friends.
The response, which included both marine and land units, continued into this weekend.
The reservoir and its car park have now been reopened to the public.
