The RM 652 Bridge access point is located in Reeves County, west of Del Rio near Highway 90, providing convenient access to the Pecos River for kayakers, canoeists, and small boats. The site is situated at river mile 652, positioning paddlers for trips toward the New Mexico state line upstream or downriver toward lower sections. Access involves a short walk from the parking area down to the launch point.
This access site works best for paddlers with smaller craft and moderate experience, as the Pecos River in this section can have variable water levels and flow conditions. Low water periods may present challenges—according to user reports, even during below-average conditions, a short portage may be necessary to reach the river. Boaters should check current water levels before visiting and be prepared for potential shallow sections or takeout difficulties. The proximity to Highway 90 makes this a relatively accessible launch point for paddling segments of the Pecos River Corridor Recreation Area.
