Rincon Recreation Site Boat Launch
About
Rincon Recreation Site Boat Launch is a boat launch in Colorado on Bureau of Land Management land, within the agency's Rocky Mountain District. The nearest town is Howard, about 4.5 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable season for a trip. At the nearby Salida weather station, typical highs reach the low to mid 80s in July and August, with lows in the 40s. Late summer also brings the most wet days. September is milder, with typical highs in the upper 70s. Rincon Campground is just 0.2 miles from the launch, and Point Barr is 0.3 miles away, so camping near the water is easy. Black Bear RV Resort is about 1.7 miles off. For a day away from the boat, the Hunts Lake hike starts about 5 miles out.
