Dolores River

The Dolores starts high on Lizard Head Pass and runs southwest with Highway 145 to the town of Dolores and McPhee Reservoir. At McPhee Reservoir the river hooks to the northwest. This is the famous tail water section of the Dolores.

With respect to boating the Dolores provides multi-day trips which take boaters through some of the most remote areas in Colorado. The entire river is open year round. From McPhee Dam downstream to the Bradford Bridge use artificial flies and lures only. With seclusion and scenery, great hatches and fly fishing the Dolores is a great spot.
