The Dolores River Boat Ramp at Bradfield provides easy access for launching rafts, canoes, and kayaks on the lower Dolores River, with dedicated trailer parking available.

Located 30 miles northwest of Dolores below McPhee Dam, the ramp sees peak use during the short rafting season around Memorial Day when water flows are adequate.
