About This Access Site
The Loma Boat Launch State Wildlife Area provides convenient access to the Colorado River, one of the West's premier waterways. Situated right off I-70, the boat ramp is 20 feet wide and suitable for launching small to medium-sized watercraft.

The Colorado River is a major river system, stretching over 1,000 miles from its headwaters in the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of Mexico. At this location, the river has an average flow of over 14,000 cubic feet per second and a gradient of 8.7 feet per mile, making it a popular destination for recreational boating, fishing, and paddling. A valid hunting or fishing license or SWA pass is required for anyone 16 or older accessing this state wildlife area.

Nearby recreation includes the 18 Road mountain bike trails and the Rabbit Valley Trail Through Time fossil site. The Saddlehorn Campground is located within 10 miles. Paddlers and boaters can conveniently access the river at this well-situated launch site along the I-70 corridor.
