About This Access Site
The Giers Wash Area on the Colorado River in La Paz County, Arizona, offers river access for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters. Located along Desert View Drive, this day-use area provides a boat ramp and picnic tables.

The Colorado River at this location is a major, high-volume waterway, with an average flow of over 14,000 cubic feet per second and a total drop in elevation of over 9,000 feet along its 1,076-mile length. Paddlers and boaters should be prepared for swift currents and changing water levels.

While the site does not have dedicated overnight camping, the nearby Crossroads Campground offers reservable sites within 10 miles. Visitors should note that the boat ramp accessibility may vary with water levels, and a valid Arizona fishing license is required for any angling activities. This day-use area is best suited for enjoying the river and the surrounding desert landscape.
