About This Access Site
The Nefertiti boat ramp provides access to the spectacular Desolation and Gray Canyons of the Green River in central Utah. This 8.5-mile section of the river, designated as Wild and Scenic, offers outstanding scenery, interesting geology, and opportunities for whitewater paddling.

The ramp is located approximately 8 miles upstream of the Swasey's Beach Campground, a popular take-out point. Paddlers and boaters can expect a scenic, remote river experience as they navigate through the rugged Book Cliffs. The Green River in this area is generally wide and slow-moving, though there are some Class II-III rapids, depending on water levels.

For those interested in multi-day trips, the Swasey's Beach Campground offers a convenient place to camp, with easy access to the river. Paddlers should be prepared for varying river conditions and have the necessary skills and equipment to navigate the Desolation and Gray Canyons safely.
