Rio Grande Access near Alamosa provides a roadside boat launch for flatwater rafting and fishing on the scenic Rio Grande.

The shallow gradient makes it ideal for beginners, though visitors should be aware that a canyon hike is required to avoid challenging whitewater rapids where the river enters New Mexico.

This location serves as an upstream anchor for Alamosa's trail system and offers access to the Alamosa Riparian Park with over five miles of trails for pedestrians and cyclists.
