The proposed action is to harden the boat ramps and install rock deflector structures that extend into the channel and provide protection to the stream bank and create a low-velocity area at four existing put-ins on the upper Rio Grande river.
Location
Four put-ins along the upper Rio Grande: Palisade campground, Wagon Wheel Gap, Rio Grande campground, and Box Canyon. All are between South Fork, CO and Road Canyon Reservoir (north of Creede, CO).
