About This Access Site
Hotchkiss Take-Out is a whitewater take-out access point located on the North Fork of the Gunnison River in Delta County, Colorado. This site serves as an egress point for paddlers completing whitewater runs on the North Fork, which is known for its scenic canyon sections and moderate to advanced whitewater. The take-out is strategically positioned to allow boaters to exit the river after their paddling trips in this area of western Colorado.
