Yamcolo Reservoir Access

Yamcolo Reservoir Access offers a free day-use boat ramp and shoreline fishing access located 12 miles southwest of Yampa on Forest Service Road 900, with 10 designated camping sites and restroom facilities available.

The ramp accommodates both electric trolling motors and internal combustion engines (the only such reservoir on the Yampa Ranger District), though note that the ramp becomes unusable as water levels drop during irrigation season.

A parking area provides walk-down access for shore fishing, and three nearby trailheads offer additional recreation opportunities in the Flat Tops area.
