Hecla Junction Boat Ramp

Hecla Junction is the primary take-out point for Browns Canyon whitewater trips and features a recently improved concrete boat ramp, campground with 23 sites, restrooms, changing facilities, and picnic areas.

The site is popular with both commercial rafting companies and private boaters, as well as anglers, and serves as access to Browns Canyon National Monument; note that the steep, unpaved access road requires careful driving.

A ¾-mile foot trail south of the campground leads downstream along the shoreline to Seidel's Suckhole, offering excellent viewing and photography opportunities for whitewater activity and fishing access.
