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 the bank is uneven with packed dirt that may crumble, requiring visitors to navigate carefully when launching.

There are no facilities at the ramp site, with the nearest amenities in Loving, NM (21 miles north), and the area is open year-round but may become muddy after heavy rain.
