Queshan Park in Blythe offers boat ramp access to the Colorado River, a major waterway with significant flow and current. This section of the river averages 2,220 cubic feet per second with velocities around 7.75 feet per second, making it suitable for powered boats and experienced paddlers. The park includes improvements to the ramp, dock facilities, and beach areas, making it a developed access point for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats.
Paddlers should be aware that the Colorado River at this location is a substantial, swift-moving waterway with a 3.2 ft/mile average gradient. The river's strong current and size require appropriate skill levels and safety precautions. The park also features picnic areas and nearby recreation, including the historic Blythe Intaglios, making it a good base for extended visits.
