Your San Juan River trip begins at the Sand Island Boat Ramp, located 2.4 miles Southwest of Bluff Utah. Bluff is located along HW 191, in San Juan County Utah. San Juan County is located in the southeastern portion of Utah, in a geological region known as the Colorado Plateau. If you choose to fly into the area, Cortez, Colorado and Farmington, New Mexico; both have airports with rental cars available. Let us know if you need any assistance. We’ll help you make all the necessary travel arrangements.
The boat ramp and campgrounds are located south of HW 191, provide short and long term parking, bathrooms and views. Here is where you will meet your crew of river guides, unless prior arrangements have been made. While the guides give their safety talks and the trip orientation, another member of our crew will shuttle your vehicle to our warehouse located in Bluff. Your vehicle will be safely stored until transported to your desired take out.
