About This Access Site
This is a take-out access point on the San Miguel River in San Miguel County, Colorado, located in the northern part of the county. As a whitewater take-out site, this location is designed for boaters finishing their river runs on the San Miguel. The take-out provides a designated exit point for paddlers, kayakers, and canoeists completing their whitewater trips. Given its classification as a take-out rather than a launch point, this site serves primarily as an end-of-run access area rather than a starting point.
