Fort Steel Access

Fort Steel Access and Parking Area offers 12 parking areas and nearly 9 miles of river access for fishing and floating on the North Platte River, located 14 miles east of Rawlins via Carbon County Road 347.

The site features a developed boat ramp at the Interstate 80 parking area with primitive ramps at other locations, plus one outhouse at the end of County Road 347.

Access is open year-round but not plowed during winter, with pedestrian access provided by easements extending 50 feet above the high water line from midstream.
