Clay Hills is the only viable take-out point below Mexican Hat on the San Juan River, serving as the terminus for multi-day float trips (57 miles from Mexican Hat, typically 4-5 days).

The facility includes a toilet and aluminum recycling, though there is no trash dump—all waste must be packed out.

Access is via San Juan County Road 278 (11 miles of dirt road from Highway 276), which may become impassable for 2WD vehicles when wet; vehicles with moderate ground clearance are recommended.
