Lees Ferry Boat Ramp
Lees Ferry Boat Ramp
Lees Ferry Boat Ramp is a multi-use launch facility divided into a paved upstream section for kayaking and fishing access, and a gravel downstream section for launching whitewater rafting trips into the Grand Canyon.
The ramp provides access to 15 miles of smooth water upstream to Glen Canyon Dam and serves as the official starting point for Grand Canyon river trips, with amenities including a campground, dump station, parking for vehicles and boat trailers, and nearby services at Marble Canyon.
All boaters must obtain a free backcountry permit, wear life jackets on hand-propelled craft, and follow a 30-minute loading/unloading time limit; personal watercraft are prohibited on this section of the Colorado River.
