About This Access Site
This take-out site on Tenmile Creek in Frisco provides access to a medium-sized headwater stream in Summit County, Colorado. Tenmile Creek is a significant tributary system with a total length of 41.67 miles and drains 102 square miles of terrain. The creek features a notable average gradient of 14.2 feet per mile, indicating consistent whitewater characteristics throughout much of its course, with an average flow of 111.62 cubic feet per second and velocity of 1.51 feet per second.

This take-out location is positioned in the upper watershed near Frisco, making it suitable for boaters and paddlers finishing runs on Tenmile Creek. The stream's gradient and flow characteristics suggest moderately technical whitewater suitable for intermediate paddlers. The location provides vehicle access for take-out purposes, allowing paddlers to complete their runs and retrieve gear efficiently.

Paddlers using this site should be aware that Tenmile Creek maintains consistent flow and current typical of Colorado mountain streams. The take-out access near Frisco serves as a critical point for managing boating trips on this drainage system, which extends considerably downstream from this access point.
