The Rock House access site on the Colorado River in Earp, CA provides a convenient boat ramp for kayakers, canoeists, and other small watercraft. Situated along the lower Colorado River within the Parker Strip Recreation Area, this site offers direct access to this major waterway.
The Colorado River is a substantial stream, measuring over 1,000 miles long with a total elevation drop of over 9,000 feet. It has an average flow rate of over 14,000 cubic feet per second and an average velocity of nearly 8 feet per second, so paddlers should be prepared for moderately swift current. The river's average gradient of 8.7 feet per mile also indicates the potential for some rapids or riffles in this section.
The Rock House site features a paved boat ramp, shaded picnic benches, a visitor center, and restrooms - making it a practical launch point for river trips. Nearby campgrounds and recreation areas like the Cactus Plain Wilderness provide additional options for planning multi-day excursions on this scenic and historic river.
