Baetis Bend Trail Access

Baetis Bend Trail Fishing Access Site provides walk-in access to a popular fly fishing area on the San Juan River's Quality Water section, featuring relatively slow water suitable for both nymphing and dry fly fishing.

The site is accessible via trails from nearby parking areas, including the Munoz parking area at Navajo Lake State Park (which offers parking and a pay station but no drinking water).

This location is part of the renowned tailwater fishery below Navajo Dam and serves as a gateway to several named fishing areas including Lunker Alley and Frustration Point.
