About This Access Site
The Southshore Marina boat ramp provides easy access to Boggs Creek and the main body of Pueblo Reservoir, one of Colorado's most popular water recreation destinations. This full-service marina offers a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters to explore the reservoir's 4,500 acres of surface water and 60 miles of shoreline.
The boat ramp is located in the "no wake zone" of Boggs Creek cove, allowing paddlers a peaceful start to their journey. Motorized boaters should be aware of the no wake restrictions in this area. The reservoir is open to all types of boats, but they must display current registration and pass an inspection before launching. Paddle craft like belly boats are also permitted.
Nearby amenities at the Southshore Marina include pontoon boat rentals, making it a great one-stop shop for a day on the water. Visitors are advised to familiarize themselves with Colorado's boating statutes and regulations before setting out. With its scenic setting and ample recreation opportunities, the Southshore Marina is an ideal access point for exploring the beautiful Pueblo Reservoir.
