Pumphouse Recreation Site features three developed boat ramps (including one boat slide with steps at Ramp #2) providing access to the Upper Colorado River's Class II-III rapids, making it the most heavily used launch point between Kremmling and State Bridge.

The site offers ample parking for boat trailers, 18 campsites ($10/night), vault toilets, and seasonal potable water (May-October), with the adjacent Gore Canyon Whitewater Playpark featuring a manmade wave popular for kayakers and paddleboarders.

Reservations are required for all campsites through Recreation. gov, and day-use fees apply April-November.
