About This Access Site
Destiny's McIntyre boat ramp provides convenient access to the mighty Colorado River near the town of Blythe, California. This major river system flows over 1,000 miles from its headwaters to the Gulf of California, draining a vast watershed of over 200,000 square miles. At the Destiny's McIntyre site, boaters and paddlers can take advantage of a 3-lane concrete boat ramp, with ample trailer parking and a nearby day-use beach area.
The Colorado River in this region is a large, fast-moving waterway, with an average flow rate over 14,000 cubic feet per second and velocities around 8 feet per second. The river's total elevation drop of over 9,000 feet creates a moderate gradient, making it suitable for experienced paddlers in kayaks and canoes. Visitors should exercise caution on the water and be prepared for changing conditions. The nearby Cibola National Wildlife Refuge also offers opportunities for wildlife viewing and nature-based recreation along the river.
Overall, Destiny's McIntyre offers a well-equipped launch point for exploring the scenic Colorado River, with amenities like boat fuel, a camp store, and RV facilities available on-site. This access site is a convenient option for both local residents and travelers passing through the Blythe area.
