About This Access Site
This is a take-out access point on the Rio Grande in Mineral County, Colorado, located at coordinates 37.77450200, -107.13999900. As a whitewater take-out site, this location is designed for paddlers finishing their river runs on the Rio Grande.

Being a take-out rather than a launch site, this location is essential for shuttle operations and trip planning on the Rio Grande whitewater.
