About This Access Site
Put In on Escalante Creek in Mesa County, Colorado provides access to a whitewater paddling section of this scenic creek. The site serves as a launch point for kayakers and canoeists looking to run the Escalante drainage. This is a whitewater-specific access point, making it suitable for paddlers interested in current-based recreation rather than calm water activities. The creek offers an opportunity to experience Colorado's backcountry waterways in a relatively accessible location near the western slope.
