Oxbow Recreation and Wildlife Area

Warning: Navigational Hazard

The Oxbow Bridge was destroyed in a fire and is currently impassable. Do not travel north from the boat ramp.

Debris from the bridge may become dislodged, creating potential navigational hazards. Boaters are advised to exercise caution in the area.


Oxbow Recreation and Wildlife Area provides RV and tent camping sites, a boat launch, and a day use area on old river channel (oxbow) of the Colorado River. The site is heavily used on summer and holiday weekends, and is popular with winter visitors.

Jet skiing, water skiing, and other fast paced boating activities occur within the Colorado River. Slower paced boating activities, such as fishing, kayaking, and canoeing are more common within Oxbow Lake.
