About This Access Site
S. Union Avenue Bridge Take Out is a whitewater take-out access point located in Pueblo, Colorado on the Arkansas River. This site serves as an exit point for paddlers completing whitewater runs on the Arkansas River in the Pueblo area. The take-out is situated near the S.

Being a take-out rather than a launch site, this location is primarily used by kayakers and canoeists finishing their whitewater adventures downstream.
