The West Boat Ramp is a high-grade slope ramp located on the northeast side of John Martin Reservoir, approximately 500 yards west of the East Boat Ramp.

This ramp is designed for high water conditions and may experience seasonal closures due to low water levels; visitors should contact the park at (719) 829-1801 to confirm current conditions before visiting.

Hand-launched vessels like canoes and kayaks can typically launch year-round, while the ramp is closed annually November 1 through March 14 for waterfowl resting.
