Description

The Heath Canyon Access at La Linda is on river left downstream of the bridge. Privately owned and managed for many years, the access is now owned and operated by Texas Parks and Wildlife. For river access, users are now required to obtain a Limited Use Permit (LPU). This annual permit ($12/person 17 & older) is available for purchase online. Then users will need to stop by and self-register at the Black Gap Wildlife Area HQ on the way to the river access (55 miles south of Marathon, 18 mi down FM 2627).
