About This Access Site
The River Lodge Resort boat ramp provides access to the Colorado River near Parker Dam in San Bernardino County, California. This section of the Colorado River is part of the lower river basin, which is a major waterway with an elevation drop of over 9,000 feet across its 1,076-mile length. The river has an average flow rate of over 14,000 cubic feet per second and an average gradient of 8.7 feet per mile, making it a popular destination for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters.

The boat ramp at River Lodge Resort is located in the Parker Strip Recreation Area, which offers picnic areas, beaches, and other river-based recreation. The resort itself provides lodging, dining, and other amenities for visitors. While the boat ramp is open to the public, it is privately operated by the River Lodge Resort, so users should check with the resort for any specific rules or fees. Paddlers and boaters should be aware of the river's size, flow, and gradient when planning their trips and exercise appropriate caution on the water.
