Colorado Canyon pull-off along Hwy 170, the scenic River Road, between Presidio and Lajitas is a favorite river access site, but is also a great place to pull off the road and enjoy the surroundings.
This section of the road runs through Big Bend Ranch State Park, which says this about Colorado Canyon:
"The Rio Grande/Rio Bravo corridor is an easily accessible area of the
park for day use, including rafting, canoeing and free bank fishing.
Several river access points are found within the park along F.M. 170.
Colorado Canyon includes Class II and Class III rapids. This section of
the river is not considered dangerous under normal flow conditions. The
walls of Colorado Canyon, unlike the limestone canyons of Big Bend
National Park and the Lower Canyons, are composed entirely of igneous
rock. Raft trips may be arranged through local outfitters in Terlingua
and Study Butte."
