About This Access Site
Fish Ford Boat Ramp serves as a lower takeout point on the Colorado River in Grand County, Utah, providing river users with access to exit the water after running whitewater sections upstream. This location is situated along the Colorado River corridor in a scenic area characterized by the red rock landscape typical of eastern Utah. As a takeout point rather than a launch site, this facility is primarily used by kayakers, canoeists, and rafters completing guided or private whitewater trips on the Colorado River.
