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 total length of 60.48 miles and maintains an average flow of 642.61 cubic feet per second, indicating reliable water volume for paddling throughout much of the year. With an average gradient of 52.2 feet per mile, this section presents moderate to challenging whitewater conditions suitable for experienced paddlers.
The coordinates place this take-out at 39.64393300, -107.07301100 in Eagle County. Given the river's elevation range of 1870 to 2832 meters and the substantial 3155-foot total drop across its length, boaters should anticipate fast-moving water with an average velocity of 3.03 feet per second. The drainage area of 945 square miles ensures consistent flow, though conditions will vary seasonally with spring runoff typically bringing higher water levels and faster currents.
Paddlers using this take-out should be prepared for whitewater conditions and have appropriate skills for swift current navigation. The Eagle River's designation as a Stream Order 7 river indicates a mature, well-established waterway with significant volume and power. This site serves as an exit point for multi-day or day trips on the Eagle River system, and boaters should plan accordingly with shuttle arrangements or alternative transportation.
