Pecos River

The Pecos River Corridor Recreation Area offers a public boat ramp on the New Mexico side of Red Bluff Reservoir with access to 6,000 acres for water-based and dispersed camping recreation.

The ramp is accessible via paved roads (Catfish and Whitebass Road) with a short dirt section at the end; note that there are no potable water or restrooms on-site, and the nearest amenities are in Loving, NM, 21 miles north.

The area is open year-round with a 14-day stay limit, though conditions may become muddy after heavy rain.
