Narraguinnep Reservoir State Wildlife Area

Narraguinnep Reservoir State Wildlife Area offers a basic boat ramp for paddlers and small motorized boats to access this scenic reservoir in southwestern Colorado. The reservoir itself is located about 13 miles north of Cortez and is fed by the Dolores River.

For those looking to explore the reservoir by kayak, canoe or small motorized boat, the boat ramp provides straightforward access. Keep in mind that the only amenities at this site are the boat ramp and a vault restroom - there are no other developed facilities like a marina or campground. Visitors will also need a valid hunting or fishing license, or a State Wildlife Area pass, to enter the site.

The Narraguinnep Reservoir is part of a larger network of public lands and recreational opportunities in the region, including the Dolores River SRMA and Canyons of the Ancients National Monument. Paddlers and boaters looking to extend their adventure may want to consider exploring these nearby areas as well. As with any outdoor activity, it's important to check current regulations and conditions before visiting.
