Carbondale Area Access

Gateway River Park provides public access to the Roaring Fork River with a four-slip boat launch, expanded parking for vehicles with trailers, and amenities including centralized restrooms and showers.

The park features both upper bench RV camping facilities and lower bench day-use areas with picnic spaces, making it suitable for both paddling and fishing access.

A full-time Park Ranger manages operations, and the facility charges $2 per person for commercial/public boat ramp access (fishing license holders exempt).
