Access Point

Ida Gulch Boat Ramp

Access along Utah Highway 128 (Upper Colorado River Scenic Byway), approximately 17 miles from the US-191 / UT-128 junction at Moab. BLM boat ramp on the Colorado River below Rocky Rapid. Also known as 'Rocky Rapid Boat Ramp.' The ramp sits on a side channel on river-left below Rocky Rapid (Class II+). At high flows it may be impossible to cross the current and reach this take-out in time — plan accordingly. Standard alternate launch for Moab Daily trips that want to skip the upper canyon or take out before Take Out Beach.
