About This Access Site
Swallows Road is a take-out access point on the Arkansas River near Pueblo Reservoir in Pueblo County, Colorado. This location serves as an exit point for whitewater paddlers completing runs on the Arkansas River. The take-out provides river access in the Pueblo area, which is a popular region for whitewater kayaking and canoeing. Being a dedicated take-out site, it is designed specifically for paddlers to exit the river after their runs rather than serve as a launch point.
