About This Access Site
The Yampa River State Park offers a boat ramp access point along the Yampa River in Moffat County, Colorado. This section of the Yampa River is known for its scenic canyon landscapes and recreational opportunities for kayakers, canoeists, and other small watercraft.
The boat ramp is located at the Yampa Valley Golf Course, providing a convenient put-in for accessing around 10 miles of the Yampa River within the state park. The river in this area is generally wide and slow-moving, making it suitable for a range of boating activities. Paddlers should be aware that the majority of the river corridor is private property, so access may be limited outside of the state park boundaries.
Nearby, Loudy Simpson Park also offers another public access point to the Yampa River, approximately 3.5 miles downstream from the Yampa Valley Golf Course boat ramp. Boaters and paddlers should plan accordingly and check local regulations before launching. The Yampa River State Park can serve as a great starting point to explore this scenic and recreational waterway in northwestern Colorado.
