Taylor River Access

Taylor River access in Gunnison County provides public fishing and boating opportunities along multiple sections of the river, with designated parking areas and campgrounds available throughout the Taylor Canyon area.

A State Wildlife Area pass or valid fishing/hunting license is required for visitors 16 and older.

The most accessible section runs approximately 12 miles between Taylor Park Dam and Almont via County Road 742, which is paved to the reservoir and then becomes a well-maintained gravel road with multiple pullouts and camping options.
