Pueblo Reservoir SWA Access provides boat launch facilities and river access for fishing and paddling on the Arkansas River upstream of Pueblo Reservoir, with an unpaved access road extending approximately 8 miles along the south side of the river.

The area is managed for public hunting and fishing, with wakeless boating allowed on the reservoir portion and coldwater stream fishing available on the Arkansas River.

Note that a boat ramp at the SWA was closed in 2007 for aquatic nuisance species inspection requirements, though it may be reopened based on future demand and inspection capabilities.
