  • Boat Ramps

    Our boat ramp and ANS Inspection Station are currently open daily from 7:00 a.m. - Varying nightly closures.  Please contact the ANS station for your launch date nightly closure time at 970-880-4165.  Your boat MUST be inspected before launching.  The boat ramp gate will be locked daily when the ANS Inspection Station closes.

    Due to low water levels there is currently no fuel available at the marina and pump out services are unavailable.  

    If your boat has been to Lake Powell, a decon is required, and decons may also be required for boats arriving from out of state.  Of course, decons are required of any boat showing evidence of possible contamination.  

    Visitors with boats registered out-of-state must purchase a yearly ANS Stamp in order to launch in Colorado.  You may purchase one before you visit at CPWshop.com, or come by the Visitor Center to purchase.  These stamps expire on December 31.

    Colorado registered boats pay for an ANS stamp at the time of registration.

    Please contact New Mexico for the most recent updates on the New Mexico side of the Lake. 505-632-2278

    Launching in Colorado is permitted at the boat ramp only. 

    Please remember to bring sunscreen, insect repellent and clothes appropriate for changes in the weather.

    As lake levels recede, please be aware of underwater hazards that may exist at different water levels.  Always check the depth before using higher speeds, or stay in the main river channels. Your boat must be inspected prior to launching.

  • Fall Colors

    Fall colors are beginning to fade at this time.  Freezing overnight temps have caused many to go brown earlier than usual this year.

  • Fire Restrictions

    Archuleta County is currently in Stage 1 Fire Restrictions.  Campfires, charcoal, and wood fires are not permitted.  Navajo Lake fire rings do not currently have a steel grate over the fire rings so this does not currently meet the regulation. 

    Propane stoves, propane fire rings, propane grills and lanterns are permitted but should be fully extinguished when not in use, or when not attended.

    Please stay alert to rapidly changing information for fire restrictions.

    Roads in the park are mostly dry at this time.  Wet or dry, the shoreline at Windsurf Beach may be very soft just under the surface due to the changing water level.  Keep your vehicle a safe distance away so you won't have to call a tow truck.
