Wingo Junction Recreation Area provides a heavily-used boat ramp on the Roaring Fork River serving both commercial and private boaters, with a staging area off Highway 82 that can accommodate numerous boat trailers and shuttles.

The ramp experiences significant seasonal traffic, with 4,750+ boaters annually and over 6,000 visitors during high-water years, making it a popular put-in point for river trips.

The BLM-managed site includes parking and river access for fishing and boating, with nearby open space acquisitions expanding the public area to reduce congestion.
