About This Access Site
The Big Bend Resort boat ramp provides access to the Colorado River in San Bernardino County, California. The ramp features two lanes, allowing easy launching and retrieval for kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats. The ramp is sheltered from the river's current by a man-made lagoon, creating a calm launching area.

Nearby, the resort offers sandy beaches, a river viewing area, and accessible facilities. Three group campsites can accommodate tents, trailers, and RVs, with sites A and B located right alongside the Colorado River. The area is known for its scenic beauty and opportunities for paddling, fishing, and other water recreation. Boaters should be aware of the Colorado River's size, flow, and gradient when planning trips.

For those looking to explore the area by water, the Big Bend Resort boat ramp offers a convenient access point to the Colorado River. The sheltered ramp and nearby amenities make it a suitable option for both paddlers and motorized boaters.
