About This Access Site
This take-out site on the Eagle River in Eagle County, Colorado provides access to a significant whitewater section of a large river system. The Eagle River is a substantial waterway with a stream order of 7, featuring an average gradient of 52.2 feet per mile and an elevation drop of 3,155 feet across its 60-mile length. With average flows of 642.61 cubic feet per second and velocities around 3 feet per second, this is an active river that requires proper whitewater paddling experience.

As a take-out location, this site serves boaters completing a run downstream from upper sections of the Eagle River. The river's significant gradient and sustained flow make it suitable for kayakers and canoeists with intermediate to advanced whitewater skills. The large drainage area of 945 square miles indicates reliable water levels throughout much of the year, though conditions can vary seasonally.

Paddlers using this take-out should be prepared for fast-moving current and the typical hazards associated with whitewater sections. The specific amenities and facilities at this particular access point are not detailed in the available data, so visitors should contact local management agencies for information about parking, restroom facilities, or other services that may be available.
