About This Access Site
The Rio Del Colorado boat ramp provides access to the Colorado River in San Bernardino County, California. This no-fee day-use area, known as the Bullfrog Day Use Area, offers a boat launch, swimming beach, shaded picnic sites, and open green space. Located about 45 minutes south of Lake Havasu City, the site is well-suited for river recreation year-round, with the winter months being particularly popular.

The Colorado River at this location is a major waterway, requiring appropriate boating equipment and safety precautions. Paddlers and small motorized craft can use the ramp to access the river. Nearby camping is available at the Crossroads Campground, roughly 10 miles away. While no overnight camping is permitted at the Bullfrog site itself, visitors can enjoy the river and shore-based activities during the day. Those seeking a more remote river experience may want to explore the Cactus Plain Wilderness Study Area or Blue Cloud Camping Area further upstream or downstream.
