Wrights Lake Access Boat Ramp

Wrights Lake Access Boat Ramp provides public launch facilities for non-motorized boating on Wrights Lake, a 40-acre alpine lake at 7,000 feet elevation in Eldorado National Forest.

The ramp is managed by the US Forest Service and is open late June through mid-October, with day-use fees of $10 at nearby trailheads and picnic areas.

The facility supports swimming, fishing, and serves as a gateway to Desolation Wilderness hiking trails, though motorized boats are strictly prohibited.
