About This Access Site
El Rio Park offers primitive boat access to the Rio Grande near Roma in Starr County. This is a basic access point located approximately halfway along the Rio Grande Reservoir, making it suitable for paddlers and smaller watercraft rather than large boats and long trailers. The site includes a vault toilet and a rough access road leading to the water's edge.
This location works best for kayakers and canoeists exploring the Rio Grande reservoir section. The primitive nature of the ramp means you should expect limited facilities and prepare accordingly. The site is not ideal for larger motorized boats or those with extended trailers. For current water conditions and flow information, contact the Rio Grande Wild & Scenic River office or check local river conditions before your visit, as water levels can significantly affect paddling difficulty and safety.
