Horse Creek Boat Ramp

Horse Creek River Access offers a free concrete boat launch and parking area managed by Eagle County Open Space, located 12 miles upstream from Dotsero on the Colorado River.

The site features restrooms and serves as a popular put-in/take-out point for boaters and anglers, effectively breaking up the long float between Pinball and Cottonwood access points.

No camping is permitted, and the single-lane driveway under the railroad trestle requires cautious driving.
