Description
SportsmenÂs Paradise will seek prosecution of those committing criminal trespassing, Âpaddlers touching the riverbed or banks, which they assert constitutes SP property. SP has marked its property line across the river with numerous Âno trespassing signs hanging from a cable. There is no doubt when you are paddling through SP, so stay in your boat. The Park CO DA has confirmed that touching the diversion dam and streambed just below the dam is not criminal trespassing. The dam is located less than 100 yards below the Âno trespassing signs and just upstream of the bridge from which the trash rack hangs. A fence across the downstream property line marks the end of SP land and is about a mile above the first rapid ÂClub Dues. (You can paddle under the fence safely on river left.) The section of river that runs through SP is approximately two miles.
