About

Wolcott Boat Ramp is a boat launch on Bureau of Land Management land in Colorado's Upper Colorado River District, about 1.2 miles from the town of Wolcott. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. At the nearby Vail weather station, typical July averages run to highs near 77°F and lows around 42°F, while September typically reaches the upper 60s by day. That station sits about 19 miles away at roughly 8,300 feet. Right beside the ramp, about 0.1 mile away, are Wolcott Campground and the Big Ass Boulder and Waterside Boulder climbing areas. For more time on the water or the trail, Lake Creek is a canoeing spot about 6.9 miles away, and the Eagle Valley Trail offers mountain biking about 3.5 miles out.
