The Lower Dock Ramp at Picacho SRA provides public boat launch access to the Colorado River and serves as a key access point for the recreation area's multiple boat-in camping sites.

The facility includes vault restrooms and is located near day-use parking; however, note that the Lower Dock was recently washed out in rain events and is currently closed until further notice.

The ramp charges a $5 boat launch fee and accommodates shallow draft powerboats, canoes, and kayaks navigating the river's shifting sandbars.
