The Whitewater boat ramp is located on the east side of the Gunnison River. The boat ramp is used mostly as a takeout point for people floating down the river from places like Delta and Escalante Canyon. The site features a restroom and carry, in and out access under the railroad tracks. Future expansion of the area may include trail heads to access the Gunnison River Bluffs.
