Mongaup Valley Wildlife Management Area Access

Mongaup Valley Wildlife Management Area offers multiple access points to Rio Reservoir, including a hand launch boat ramp at Rio Dam Road and a trailer launch at Plank Road, both supporting non-motorized recreation (gas motors prohibited).

A wheelchair-accessible eagle viewing blind is located at the Plank Road parking area, making it ideal for wildlife observation. Winter access is restricted December 1-March 31 to protect wintering bald eagles, so plan visits accordingly.
