About This Access Site
The Emerald Cove Resort on the Colorado River offers a convenient boat launch for kayakers, canoeists, and small powerboats. The triple-wide boat ramp provides easy access to the river, which flows gently through this scenic desert region along the California-Arizona border.

Paddlers will find the Colorado River in this area to be a wide, slow-moving waterway, making it well-suited for leisurely trips and wildlife viewing. The nearest campground is Crossroads Campground, located within 10 miles. Nearby recreation areas include the Cactus Plain Wilderness Study Area and the Blue Cloud Camping Area, offering additional opportunities for exploration.

The Emerald Cove Resort itself provides a range of amenities, including a beach, pool, and on-site dining. While the boat launch is open to resort guests, the specific fees and hours of operation are not publicly available. Boaters and paddlers should contact the resort directly for the most up-to-date information before planning their visit.
