About This Access Site
Hermosa Creek is a popular whitewater paddling destination in La Plata County, Colorado. This put-in access point serves as the starting location for running whitewater sections of the creek. The area offers access to flowing water conditions typical of mountain streams in the region. Paddlers should be prepared for variable water conditions depending on seasonal snowmelt and recent precipitation, which are common characteristics of Colorado's high-country creeks.
