Peter McIntyre County Park offers convenient river access for kayakers, canoeists, and small boat users on the mighty Colorado River. The park features a 3-lane boat ramp, allowing easy launching of watercraft.
The Colorado River at this location is a major waterway, over 1,000 miles long and draining a vast watershed across the Southwest. It has an average flow rate of over 14,000 cubic feet per second and an average gradient of 8.7 feet per mile, providing paddlers with an exciting yet navigable experience. Boaters should be aware of the river's powerful current and plan their trips accordingly.
While the boat ramp is currently closed for maintenance, the park itself remains open for day use activities like picnicking and wildlife viewing along the river's edge. Visitors can access nearby recreation areas like the Cibola National Wildlife Refuge to further explore the Colorado River corridor. Paddlers and boaters are encouraged to check the status of the boat ramp before visiting and to always exercise caution on this dynamic waterway.
