Bradfield Bridge Access
Bradfield Bridge Access
Bradfield Bridge is the primary launch point for Dolores River boating trips, located 30 miles northwest of Dolores below McPhee Dam with a boat ramp and trailer parking.
The site serves as the eastern boundary of the managed river corridor and experiences heavy use during the short rafting season around Memorial Day weekend.
Anglers should note that catch-and-release regulations apply upstream to McPhee Dam, while downstream from Bradfield Bridge to the Utah state line has no bag limit for brown trout.
