About This Access Site
The Bob Terrell State Wildlife Area in Carbondale, Colorado provides public access to the Roaring Fork River, a major river system in the region. The site features a boat ramp that allows kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats to easily access the river.
The Roaring Fork is a large, high-gradient river flowing over 68 miles from its headwaters to the confluence with the Colorado River. With an average flow of over 1,000 cubic feet per second and an average gradient of nearly 100 feet per mile, the Roaring Fork is a powerful mountain river known for its excellent gold medal trout fishing. Paddlers should use caution and be prepared for swift currents, especially during spring runoff.
The Bob Terrell access is a popular put-in point for those looking to float or fish the upper Roaring Fork. Nearby recreation areas like Red Hill and The Crown offer additional hiking, biking, and equestrian trails. A campground at Thompson Creek is located within 10 miles of the boat ramp. Visitors should contact the state wildlife agency for current conditions and any restrictions at this access site.
