Del Norte Unit Boat Ramp

Del Norte Unit Boat Ramp serves as the primary put-in for paddling trips on the Devils River, located approximately one-third mile from the parking lot via hiking trail.

This access point requires advance Devils River Access Permits ($10) and reservations, and is the northern terminus for multi-day paddling trips down the pristine 14-mile stretch to the Dan A. Hughes Unit takeout.

Note that the access road is rough gravel (22 miles from Highway 277), requiring high-ply tires, and the park gate operates Friday-Monday only (8am-4pm).
