Mexican Hat Access

Mexican Hat Access is a primary launch and take-out point for San Juan River float trips, located in the town of Mexican Hat with a boat launch, day-use area, and toilet facilities.

The site provides access to the 57-mile section of river from Mexican Hat to Clay Hills (typically 4-5 days of paddling), featuring Class II-III rapids including the technical Government Rapid.

Note that vehicles have been broken into at this location, so visitors are advised not to camp or leave vehicles overnight at the launch area; vehicle storage is available at local businesses for a fee.
